Facts About the Taiwan Languages
Besides Mainland China, Taiwan is also a crucial part of the Sinosphere where Mandarin is spoken as the official language, and traditional Chinese characters are used as the writing system.
How Many Languages Are Spoken in Taiwan?
Despite its small territory, Taiwan is a linguistically diverse region with over 30 languages spoken by its inhabitants. The indigenous languages include Formosan languages like Atayal, Kavalan, Rukai, Paiwan, Tsou, etc., and Malayo-Polynesian languages like Tao.
The majority of the Taiwanese population is Han Chinese, making Sinitic languages the dominant lingua franca in Taiwanese society. Apart from Mandarin which holds the official status in Taiwan, Hokkien, Hakka, Matsu dialect, Wuqiu dialect, and Cantonese are also spoken by different Chinese communities.
With their unique characteristics, each language plays an important role in the cultural fabric of Taiwan, contributing to the region’s identity and reflecting its history and heritage.
Further explore the language landscape in Taiwan.
What Is the Writing System Used in Taiwan?
The writing system used in Taiwan is primarily based on Chinese characters, known as Hanzi or Han characters. Chinese characters are logograms with each character representing a word or a concept. However, unlike in mainland China where simplified Chinese characters are used, the Taiwanese use traditional Chinese characters which have more strokes and are more complex compared to its simplified versions.
In addition to Chinese characters, Taiwanese also utilize Hanyu Pinyin, a romanization system that is used to transcribe Chinese words in the Latin alphabet and type Chinese characters. More importantly, Pinyin helps learners of Mandarin Chinese get the correct pronunciation of Chinese words. The combination of the dual writing system of Chinese characters and Pinyin allows for effective communication and understanding in written form.
Like Hong Kong and Macau, Taiwan’s traditional Chinese writing system is a testament to the region’s deep-rooted connection to the time-honored Chinese language and culture.
History of Taiwanese Language
The Taiwanese language has a fascinating history that reflects the complex cultural and linguistic evolution of Taiwan. Taiwanese language, aka Hokkien or Minnan, is a Min Chinese variant with its roots in the coastal regions of southeastern China.
Taiwan was not a populous island in its old days with its indigenous languages. During the 17th century, a considerable Minnan-speaking population migrated from China’s Fujian Province and settled in Taiwan. As the Minnan Chinese communities grew in Taiwan, the Taiwanese language developed its unique characteristics through the inter-influence of the local indigenous languages and other Chinese dialects, such as Hakka.
Taiwan’s linguistic landscape has also shown colonial influence by foreign languages, including Dutch, Spanish, and Japanese, reflecting the island’s diverse heritage.
With Mandarin Chinese becoming more prevalent and the official language in Taiwan back in the early 20th century, the Taiwanese language experienced a decline in official use and remained the spoken language for daily communication for many Taiwanese people.

A9: While Google Translate can generate translations from English to Taiwanese languages instantly and provide a basic understanding, you need to bear in mind that the results may not always be accurate or contextually appropriate.

A12: Yes. Mandarin Chinese is the official language of Taiwan, which is widely understood and used across the region.
A13: Yes, you can. Unlike in Mainland China where they have strict Internet restrictions and censorship blocking some of the online services, such as Google services, you can use Google Translate or anyother online services in Taiwan as freely as you would in your home country. But be sure to have alternative translation methods or apps available when entering Mainland China from Taiwan.
