'''Simplified Chinese''' is a simplification of [[Chinese character]]s that was adopted as the official [[orthography]] of the [[People's Republic of China]] in 1949. It is also used in [[Singapore]]. [[Traditional Chinese]] characters remain in use in [[Taiwan]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Macau]], and [[Malaysia]]. The characters were simplified in may ways, including using commonly used abbreviations, retaining only part of a traditional character, replacing the phonetic element with a simpler one, and replacing several traditional characters with one simplified character.<ref>[http://www.omniglot.com/writing/chinese_simplified.htm Simplified Chinese characters]</ref>
