Simplified Chinese (Simplified Chinese: 简体字 or 简化字; Traditional Chinese: 簡體字 or 簡化字; pinyin: jiǎntǐzì or jiǎnhuàzì) is one of two standard sets of Chinese characters of printed contemporary Chinese written language, simplified from traditional Chinese by the People's Republic of China in an attempt to promote literacy. It is used in mainland China, Singapore, and Malaysia.
Traditional characters are used in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and many overseas Chinese communities, but simplified characters are gradually gaining popularity among overseas Chinese as more mainland Chinese emigrate from their homeland.
