'''Traditional Chinese''' denotes the form of written [[Chinese character]]s that was standardized in the late [[Han Dynasty]] (25-220 AD) and used for written Chinese until 1949, when it was replaced in the [[People's Republic of China]] by a [[Simplified Chinese|simplified script]]. The traditional script remains predominant among Chinese language users outside the PRC proper and Singapore (i.e., in [[Taiwan]], and among the worldwide Chinese [[diaspora]]) as well as in [[Hong Kong]] and [[Macau]]. Traditional Chinese characters are also employed as [[Hanja]] in [[Korean language|Korean]].
