No. Chinese is not a language. It is a family of languages, much like West Germanic. There are many different Chinese languages, such as Mandarin (the most widely spoken one), Cantonese (the most spoken in the Western world), Hakka, Taishanese, Taiwanese, and Hokkien. However, when people say "Chinese" they most often mean Mandarin.

Chinese language is a tonal language with characters representing words or concepts, while English is an alphabetic language with an alphabet representing sounds to form words. Chinese does not have verb tenses or plurals, and relies on context for understanding, whereas English uses word order and grammar rules for clarity.
