What’s the difference between 英文，中文 and 英语，汉语？Is it a regional

difference? Or is one version more formal?

    一样

    汉语是中国汉族的语言，也就是中文。As is well known.中国有56个民族，不同的民族，有不同的语种。比如，藏族的藏语。但，在中国流行、通用的是汉语。

    中国他不香吗

  • Zoe Nane

    一样一样一样

  • Styrol苯乙烯

    语是指你说的时候，文是指写的时候。但没什么区别🌚

  • Sb

    Actually they are the same but文 is more formal

  • 夨坕

    中文英文Broadly speaking, it is more written, referring to all aspects of the language, similar to listening, speaking, reading and writing 英语汉语Generally only emphasize spoken language

  • 湘夫人

    没啥区别，在我们这边“英文中文”比较书面，“英语”比较口语，一般没人说“汉语”

  • Aiden

    “语”和“文”这两个字的概念在民间是没有区别的

  • Aiden

    中文广义上和汉语没什么区别，如果非要严格来说的话就是单指中国大陆的简体汉字。汉语的范围要更广一点

  • 白黎

    There's no difference.

  • Genevieve

    It's okay to switch them

  • Jerry陳

    没什么区别的，强行区别会把自己都搞懵

  • 贤人

    “语” more about exchange. just like 英语 and 汉语 it pay attention to speak or talk .They're talk with English or Chinese.you can say 他们用英语交流 “文”more about language or writing. so 英文or汉文 it pay attention to writing .This book is in Chinese .you can say 这本书是中文版的 all in all 英语and 汉语 are a way of communication. 中文and 英文 may contain a kind of natural culture. This is my humble opinion,for what it's worth.

  • 大秃噜.

    中文is more colloquial. 汉语 is written

  • 艾瑞昔布

    由于近代化的需要，文言文古代现在已经被改成了与西方国家差不多的表达方式了

  • Klemantine·Lee

    one is character,one is language

  • Mila

    Good question！Before i read the comments, i would say there is no difference between them. But after i read the comments, I learned something. Cool. i must be a fake Chinese🙈

  • Scarlett

    In spoken Chinese ,they are the same mean.so u say either of them is okay

  • 玖冉

    没有多大的区别吧

  • 厘清LiQing

    That's no different.

  • Elaina

    In fact,in Chinese,英语=英文，汉语=中文

  • Lucy

    @Haylie No problem ;D

  • Haylie

    @Lucy thanks! That helped a lot

  • Lucy

    Same meaning.And it’s not regional difference I think.But here is a little difference when making them as phrases. Like 英语汉语sound more like subjects or the type of language...and kinda more formal Ex.我在上英语课。[I’m having an English lesson.]/学汉语有点难。[It’s difficult to learn Chinese.] And 英文中文 sound a bit more casual..and more like using the language.Ex.我会说英文。[I can speak English.]/你会说中文吗？[Can you speak Chinese?]/这是一本英文小说。[It’s an English novel.]

  • Mia_Han

    英语and汉语refer to the language，英文and中文 mostly refer to only words and expressions and grammar（speaking language not included,but sometimes we say“在中文中我们会这样说”（I think it is informal））.Also，中文and英文 refer to different versions of a book,website,etc.（中文版、英文版）

  • Dora

    same😂

  • Rosie

    汉语英语have more contains

  • JeffDeng

    英语 and 汉语 are more like school lessons.英文 and 中文 are more like the names of language to Chinese.

  • 落英

    没多大区别。

  • 空霖雨霁

    都差不多

  • Eneko

    Exactly the same
