Language |
- The official language of Taiwan is Mandarin Chinese (Guoyu), but because many Taiwanese are of southern Fujianese descent, Min-nan (the Southern Min dialect, or Holo) is also widely spoken. The smaller groups of Hakka people and aborigines have also preserved their own languages.
- The most popular foreign language in Taiwan is English, which is part of the regular school curriculum. However, when taking a taxi in Taiwan, it is advisable to prepare a note with your place of destination written in Chinese to show the taxi driver.
