What is the difference between 汉语 and 中文， as in：
你会说中文吗？ vs 你会说汉语吗？
Lin Ping – Tue, 27 Apr 2010 21:20:10 -0500
中文 and 汉语 are just two different names for "Chinese".

There used to be slight difference between them when "中文" was used to refer to written Chinese, whereas "汉语" was more about communicative Chinese.

That difference is disappearing nowadays. People use either to refer to Chinese.

Hope that helps
