Where is the traditional style of Chinese currently used?

The question is a bit tricky, as there isn't one "traditional style" of Chinese. It depends on what you're referring to:

1. Traditional Chinese Characters vs. Simplified Chinese Characters:

* Traditional Chinese Characters: are used in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and some overseas Chinese communities.

* Simplified Chinese Characters: are used in mainland China, Singapore, and Malaysia.

2. "Traditional" Styles within Chinese Calligraphy:

* Within Chinese calligraphy, there are various styles, each with its own historical development and aesthetic appeal. Some consider "kaisho" (楷书) to be a more "traditional" style due to its clear and structured form, but others may view "xingkai" (行楷) or "xing shu" (行书) as more traditional depending on their preferences.

3. Dialects:

* Chinese has numerous dialects, and each has its own unique pronunciation and vocabulary. While Mandarin is the official language of mainland China, other dialects like Cantonese, Hakka, and Hokkien are still widely spoken in different regions.

To clarify your question, please specify what you mean by "traditional style of Chinese". This will help me give you a more accurate answer.
