Taiwan Language is a dialect of the Fijian province and is spoken as a mother tongue by most of the people. Taiwan Language is now increasingly becoming famous and is being favored by the media and business as well. The Hakka dialect is spoken too by a minority group of people.
Indigenous groups
Taiwan's indigenous people share many customs and practices with other native groups of Southeast Asia. At least one group, the Yami (Tao) of Orchid Island, a smaller island off Taiwan's southeast coast, can be traced back directly to the Batan Islands of the Philippine, where members of their ethnic group still live.
Each of the ten indigenous peoples continue to speak their own languages, many of which have been rendered in written form, either based on the Roman alphabet or Mandarin phonetic symbols. But because indigenous languages vary even from village to village, anthropologists and others seeking an intimate knowledge of Taiwan's indigenous culture may still want to learn Mandarin as a helpful bridge language.
The sub-ethnic group in Taiwan for which Taiwanese is considered a native language is known as Hoklo. The correspondence between language and ethnicity is generally true though not absolute, as some Hoklo speak Taiwanese poorly while some non-Hoklo speaks Taiwanese fluently.
