I want to learn the chinese language but I don't know which site to learn it from.
I googled "What are the languages use of China?" and it said Standard Mandarin. Wikipedia says there's dialects for it and I don't know if I have to learn it. Help me :)
It doesn't really matter the dialect of its mandarin. If you're actually going to speak to people, I'm sure they will understand you. Nobody really speaks traditional that much anymore so you're fine with standard mandarin.
Let's make some stuff clear:
Chinese is split into what's written and what's spoken.
The two ways to write are Simplified and Traditional. Mainland China will nearly always use Simplified.
There are a multitude of Chinese dialects but all of them will be written in the two aforementioned options. The two most well-known dialects are Mandarin and Cantonese. As far as I can tell from wiki's article on "Mandarin Chinese" and "Standard Chinese", Mandarin Chinese is just an umbrella term for all the different accents associated with Mandarin and Standard Chinese just refers to the official, "right" way to speak Mandarin. My bet is that whatever website that actually teaches Mandarin will already be teaching the "proper" way.

tldr: learn to write simplified chinese and learn to speak the type of mandarin chinese you hear from a beijing news reporter
You should explain what you want to learn for. Do you want to visit? Do you have friends in your current country? Do you want to watch jap cartoons with chinese subtitles a few hours before english subtitles come out?
