Excuse Me, Can You Speak Chinese?
It is said that human beings used only one kind of language until God used his power to give people a punishment that let people who lived in different areas have to speak different languages, which resulted from the thought of touching the heaven, where God lived, of mankind. However, it is just a legend. According to the historical remains, the various tongues were made by human beings.
Roughly, about five language families exist in the world and have their branches. As a result of the interaction of wars, marriages, commercial activities and the separation of regions, which made cultural differences in each branch, it gradually turned into various dialects. Regardless of multifarious dialects, let us focus on the larger circle, that is, languages. People use their languages to talk to others.

After the popularization of English, the ability of speaking Chinese has being emphasized as well.
