Final Conclusion

I have learned so many things about the Taiwanese language from the data I've gathered from both my secondary and primary resources.
From my internet and book research I learned that Taiwanese was first spoken as a way for the ancestors of Taiwan to protest and separate themselves from the Chinese government at the time. Also, I learned that there are many differences as well as similarities between Chinese and Taiwanese. One difference is that Taiwanese is more nasal and cannot be written. But on the other hand, both languages originated from people who once lived or do live in China and both are tonal languages. Specifically from the book on CD, I heard that some words in Taiwanese are just modified Chinese words but would be totally different if you'd just learned both languages.
From my primary research I learned that the older you are the more people typically speak in Taiwanese because I think that back then, Taiwanese was used more commonly. While on the other hand, Chinese is the language of choice for the more modern crowd and is used for formal events such as school or interviews.

We can learn from my research that if you were to ever want to visit Taiwan, there is no need to go searching for a guide to Taiwanese language because Chinese is now recognized as the most commonly used language. But, if you plan on interacting with the town elders or someone's grandparents, it might be helpful to find a translator for it's easier for older people to express themselves using Taiwanese.
