Taiwanese languages refer to the various languages spoken in Taiwan, primarily including Mandarin Chinese, Taiwanese Hokkien, and Hakka. Mandarin Chinese is the official language and is widely used in education and government. Taiwanese Hokkien, a variant of Min Nan, is spoken by a significant portion of the population and reflects the island's cultural heritage. In addition to these, there are several indigenous languages belonging to the Austronesian family, spoken by the indigenous peoples of Taiwan. These languages, such as Amis and Atayal, are vital for preserving the unique cultural identities of these communities. Efforts are ongoing to revitalize and promote these languages.
