would need disambig
My parents have always talked of Mandarin as just "Mandarin" and we lived in [[Hong Kong]] for three years while I was a child. Why does the "Chinese" have to be thrown in the title? The other countries that speak Mandarin are mentioned in the article anyways, and I seriously doubt that articles will be made on "Mandarin in Singapore" etc. May I suggest a simplification of the title?

: The word ''Mandarin'' also refers to a citrus fruit (I think it's an alternate name for tangerine or clementine or one of those). If you do change the name of the article, I'd suggest adding a disambiguation clause. [[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 02:18, 25 April 2008 (EDT)
