Taiwan's languages

 

The official language that used in Taiwan is Mandarin Chinese. They also use Mandarin Chinese in their education. Besides that, the Taiwanese also speak Min-nan yu or also known as Taiyu. A small group of Hakka people that live in Taiwan will speak Hakka instead of Taiyu. However, some of the elderly in Taiwan are able to speak Japanese as they were subjected to Japanese education during the occupation of Japanese before the year 1945. In Taiwan, they are now started to speak English even in their school curriculum as English is the international language.

Although all the indigenous people have their own indigenous languages but almost all of them know how to speak Mandarin Chinese. However, the indigenous people in Taiwan are enthusiastic to identify their heritage. But for the younger generations in Taiwan, most of them are grew up in the city areas so they never speak their indigenous language anymore.
