I can say with 100 percent certainty, that Mandarin is spoken in every country. Name one country that don't have a Chinese restaurant. :) In addition, Mandarin is spoken to a large extent in Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore. Chinese is probably the 3rd most spoken language the the US. Mandarin is not spoken in just one country. I can say with 100 percent certainty, that Mandarin is spoken in every country.
