 The Unknown Taiwan - People   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
Between the 14th and 17th centuries, Hoklo emigrants left China despite an imperial decree forbidding overseas travel The trickle of Chinese immigrants in Taiwan increased rapidly in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Often, the Hoklo residents of Taiwan are called "native Taiwanese," though this term is also used to designate anyone whose family arrived in Taiwan before 1949.
Hoklo settlers had already taken most of the best land on the plains, and viewed the new arrivals as intruders.

Immunoglobulin studies show that Hakka and Hoklo populations in China are closely related to the southern minorities of China.
Based on the gene frequency of immunoglobulin haplotypes, it is estimated that 20-25% of the genes of current Hakka or Hoklo populations in China originated from northern Han and 75-80% from southern groups of China.
In short, it is highly unlikely that Hakka and Hoklo populations in Taiwan and China are descendants of migrants of northern Chinese.

Hoklo refers to people having ancestry from the southern part of Fujian Province in mainland China.
Most Hoklos trace their paternal ancestry to men who migrated to Taiwan from Fujian in the 17th and 18th centuries.
At present, most Hoklos in Taiwan are uncertain as to what ancestry they share with the Taiwanese aborigines, due to undocumented intermarriages between the Hoklo people and Taiwanese lowland aborigines.

Monolingual policy by the KMT suppressed Hoklo, Hakka and the Austronesian languages, and there were only a small group of expatriats and dissidents who promoted Hoklo as a unique language.
I personally prefer Hoklo because it is more narrow in focus, and doesn't refer to all the languages spoken south of the Min River, some of which are mutually unintelligable.
Hoklo is the native language of over 70% of Taiwanese people, and is also spoken in Southern Fujien (Min-nan), Eastern Canton and Singapore.

The Hakka probably account for another 15 percent of Taiwan's population, and their relations with the Hoklo have always been fraught: communal fighting over land ownership was endemic between the two groups until the Japanese takeover of Taiwan in 1895.
However, in its early years the DPP often appeared to be a party of chauvinistic Hoklo nationalism, so minority fears, such as those of the Hakka and the mainlanders, are not without foundation, nor are they manufactured by the pan-blues.
This is partly because they too are a minority fearful of Hoklo chauvinism, and their history gives them ample reason to be.

Hoklo (pronounced Holo) is the root of Taiwanese, and was not spoken by a people who were genetically Chinese.

The population of Taiwan area were composed of Taiwnanese Hoklo (or Minnan), Taiwanese Hakka (or Haka), immigrant Chinese mainlanders, and aborigines [17,18].
We focus our study on the Taiwanese Hoklo and Hakka subjects, because that the genotypes of the immigrated Chinese mainlanders were greatly diversed and the aborigines as Malayo-Polynesians were even more different from Han Chinese people [17,18].
Nevertheless, Taiwanese Hoklo and Hakka individuals, which comprised the majority of Taiwanese before the immigration of mainlanders, are closely related to southern Han Chinese people who appear to inherit haplotypes from both Han Chinese and Yueh individuals, making them genetically somewhat different from the northern Han Chinese and original Han Chinese people [17].

  Since Hoklo and Hakka were degraded as “dialects” and thus proscribed in the public sphere, as history had repeated, those Native students who spoke their mother tongues in schools would be punished or fined in tokens.

 Yuet People - Asia Finest Discussion Forum
Even though modern Hoklo and Hakka are doubtlessly classified as Han Chinese languages today, the presence of substratum words of ancient Yuet origin is an undeniable proof that the Han Chinese language was a later import into these ethnicities.
Hard to believe at first, but it is true: Hoklo and Hakka do have ancient cognate words shared by languages half-way around the globe.
It is not surprising that these Hakka or Hoklo words do not have Chinese character representation, no matter how hard some scholars dig into ancient Chinese dictionaries.

However, as Hakka people from Chang Chou lived together with Hoklo back home, and had close relations, their culture became assimilated with Hoklo over the last few hundred years, with the Chang Chou Hakka dialect become subsumed gradually.

In 1999 the Hoklo fascists in control of the DPP labeled the trio "race traitors" for reconciling with the predominantly "mainlander" New Party.
They were followed by a younger generation of disillusioned idealists such as DPP National Assemblywoman Cheng Li-wen, who is now Deputy Director of Public Relations for the KMT (You read that right.), and Li Yung-ping, who is now a legislator for the PFP.
But now that a dyed in the wool Hoklo chauvinist such as Hsu Wen-long, a major benefactor to their cause has turned his back on them, Taiwan independence holdouts are desperately wringing their hands wondering why.

When using the term "native Taiwanese" or "Taiwanese," I am referring to the people who came to Taiwan prior to 1945: the Hoklo, from the Chinese province of Fukien, and the Hakka, from Kwangtung province.

While there is a divergence of views among specialists in linguistics as to what extent the dialects spoken in Taiwan -- Amoy, Southern Min, Hokkien, Hoklo -- differ, for purposes of this book, I do not get into the complexities of the linguistic issues and simply refer to the language as Taiwanese unless otherwise specified.
