Random information on the term “TAIWAN”:
Taiwanese Mandarin, Guoyu (Chinese: 國語; pinyin: Guóyǔ; lit. ‘National Language’) and colloquially as Huayu (華語; Huáyǔ; ‘Mandarin Language’) refers to Mandarin Chinese spoken in Taiwan. A large majority of the Taiwanese population is fluent in Mandarin, though many also speak a variety of Min Chinese known as Taiwanese Hokkien, commonly called Minnanyu (Chinese: 閩南語; pinyin: Mǐnnányǔ; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Bân-lâm-gú), Southern Min, or Hokkien.[note 1] This language has had a significant influence on Mandarin as spoken on the island.
Mandarin was not a prevalent spoken language in Taiwan before the mid-20th century. Early Chinese immigrants who settled in Taiwan before Japanese rule mainly spoke other varieties of Chinese languages, primarily Hakka and Hokkien. By contrast, Taiwanese indigenous peoples speak unrelated Austronesian languages. Japan annexed Taiwan in 1895 and governed the island as a colony for the next 50 years, during the duration, Japanese was introduced as an official and educational language. With the defeat of Imperial Japan in World War II, Taiwan was handed to the Republic of China ruled by the Kuomintang (KMT), which by 1950 had been pushed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) out of the mainland. The KMT promulgated Standard Mandarin as the national language while suppressing non-Mandarin languages in the public sphere in Taiwan. At the same time, in the People’s Republic of China on the mainland, Putonghua (simplified Chinese: 普通话; traditional Chinese: 普通話; pinyin: Pǔtōnghuà; lit. ‘common speech’) was likewise promoted as the national language.[note 2]
