-Even though the official language of Taiwan is Chinese, 70% of Taiwan's population speak Taiwanese (Taiyu) as well.
-Taiwan's first inhabitants came prior to the arrival of Nationalists in China.
-The original reason for using Taiwanese was to prove Taiwan's independence from Mainland China.
-Taiwanese is also spoken in the Fujin Providence in Southern Mainland China.
-Both language are tonal (where tones distinguish between different words)
-There are varied versions of Taiwanese but it's mostly the same.
In conclusion... I learned that Taiwanese and Chinese are similar and Taiwanese is even spoken in parts of China. Also, I learned the reason for the Taiwanese language and the history of it's first speakers.
