Default Chinese vs Mandarin

Hi Sergio & Veronica,
From what I've learned after doing some quotes is that Chinese has different dialects (oral language). The most common ones are Mandarin and Cantonese, being Mandarin the most widely used.
Regarding Traditional vs. Simplified Chinese, this has to do with the use of a different set of characters. Chinese in itsefl has an incredibly difficult writing system so they've decided that for printing purposes they would simplify these characters.
If you know anything more about this, please let me know!
