	Ethnic Differentiation in Taiwan
		The concept of ethnic group has evolved over the years as interests in and research on ethnic relationship are expanding.
		Weber thus defines ethnic groups as "those human groups that entertain a subjective belief in their common descent because of similarities of physical type or customs or both or because of memories of colonization and migration" (Sinnott & Davis, 1981: 398).
		In fact, ethnic experts suggest that it is not necessary for members of an ethnic group to be homogeneous (van Haegendoren, 1982: 48; Keyes, 1976: 202; Wirsing, 1981: 8).

		A group that showed some discontent with the unilateral request formulated by the Hoklo were Taiwan`s Hakka, another Han-Chinese group in Taiwan whose members counted about 9% of Taiwan`s total population and who had always had difficulties to assert themselves against the Hoklo.
		In academic texts, 'ethnic group' is most commonly defined as a group whose members have a common group-name, a common language, a common myth of decent, common characteristics in territory, history, culture, religion as well as a certain feeling of solidarity that distinguishes them from other groups with whom they interact and co-exist.
		As the discourse of `Taiwan`s great ethnic groups` was suitable to strengthen the position of Taiwan`s Han in general, it soon was not only the logo of the political opposition anymore: Even within the mainstream-wing of the KMT-government around Li Denghui, it received increasing approval since the early 1990s.

	languagehat.com: Comment on GLOSSIKA.
		"Hoklo" is often used instead of "Taiwanese" or "Southern Min." Using the term "Taiwanese" is sort of like using "American" to refer to English - it ignores the existence of the other langauges spoken in Taiwan.
		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.

		According to the new political discourse after 1989, Taiwan’s population now was not constituted of a homogeneous Chinese race (zhonghuaminzu) anymore, but of ‘four big ethnic groups’ (Taiwansidazuqun), i.e., Hoklo, Hakka, Mainlanders and Aborigines, that in the course of time had merged into a ‘new Taiwanese’ as a result of mutual cultural fertilization and intermixture.
		The concept was not only suitable to create a new sense of commonness among the members of Taiwan’s different ethnic groups, but also defied the mainland’s claims on Taiwan in historical and in cultural terms.
		Societal groups with a strong catalytic function in the first period were intellectuals within the Taiwanese opposition party DPP, Taiwan's anthropologists, foreign missionaries and the PCT.

		There is a clear distinction between the Hakka and the indigenous peoples here on the one hand and the Hoklo on the other, due to their historical conflicts in the early phase of Taiwan's development.
		The reason why indigenous peoples feel they have been unfairly treated by the Hoklo is that throughout history, their land has been exploited by the Hoklo, Taiwan's largest ethnic group.
		When it moved to Taiwan in 1949 and was faced with the Hoklo group, which made up 70 percent of the local population, they made it their strategy to promote people of Hakka descent, secure the support of indigenuous peoples and isolate the Hoklo.

		The story of Taiwan is co-authored by every ethnic group of this land.
		Taiwan's national identity is established with all-inclusive participation from our ethnic groups--each one being the master of this land, and their mother tongues the languages of Taiwan.
		Whether an individual identifies with Taiwan or the Republic of China, per se, any such professed expression of national identity is a testament to one's loyalty towards this country; and such an expression should not be distorted or misused to divide the people.

		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.

		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].
