...and in 1982 it became the only official language of China.
The standard variety of Mandarin is sometimes referred to as Guoyu, “National Language,” or putonghua “common language” by the Chinese.

Shanghainese is a dialect of Wu spoken by about 14 million people in Shanghai. There is no standard written form of Shanghainese and it rarely appears in writing. Though the language is the everyday spoken language of Shanghai, it isn't used in education and is only occasionally heard on local radio stations.
Shanghainese has retained its cultural significance for the Shanghai region, despite the introduction of Mandarin Chinese as the official language in 1949. Not mutually intelligible with Mandarin. There are 5 tones in Shanghainese.
Cantonese is a Chinese dialect of the Yue family. It is mutually unintelligible to mandarin. It is spoken in the South of China, in Guangdong province and surrounding areas as well as in Hong Kong and Macau. There are over 60 million speakers of Cantonese. Cantonese is often considered harder to learn than Mandarin due to it having 6 tones as opposed to the 4 in Mandarin.
Due to the migration of Cantonese speakers from Hong Kong and the Guangdong area, Cantonese is the dominant form of Chinese spoken in the Chinatowns of many major cities in the United States, Canada, Australia and elsewhere.
As you can see, there truly are some big differences between Chinese dialects
