		Referring to proposals by various legislators that Minnan or English should be made the country's second official language, Huang said that it is beyond the jurisdiction of the Education ministry to decide on a second official language.
		The minister said that the four spoken dialects and language groups in Taiwan -- Mandarin, Minnan, Hakka and the aboriginal tongues -- are equally important and that the public should learn to appreciate the multiplicity of Taiwan's society.
		Lo, who comes from a Hakka family, said that as a dialect, Hakka should get more attention from the authorities because increasing numbers of Hakka offspring have lost the ability to communicate in their mother tongue.

	Chinese Naming: Q&A with Andy Chuang
		However, the reading of the characters for lan niao in the Minnan (Hokkien-Taiwanese) is lan jiao, which also sounds like the word for male genitals.
		It's rather complicated, but although blue in Minnan is lan and bird is jiao, the term lan jiao is bad, to put it mildly.
		Qing-niao distracts Minnan speakers from the negative association and is also more poetic.

	Session 143 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Using a discursive analysis of the writings of the Beijing intellectual Tang Erhe as her point of departure, Rebecca Karl asserts that we cannot understand republican era constructions of the Chinese nation without first passing through an analysis of the effects of colonialism on Chinese intellectuals’ worldviews.
		Indeed, much of what might be termed a "Minnan identity" was based upon a dynamic entrepreneurial culture and a cosmopolitanism that had been born in southern Fujian but raised in colonial Southeast Asia.
		By mobilizing a revamped Confucianism and a newly discovered Minnan historical identity, and wedding these to the commercial success of overseas Chinese merchant life, many Huaqiao strove to build a stronger, modern Fujian capable of combining a "Chinese" past with a modernizing impetus rooted in Huaqiao colonial Southeast Asia.

		Their underlying theme is the need to perceive social and cultural innovation as the outcome of on-going interaction between regional and national models.
		The new tradition, I suggest, was rooted in the dramatic social fluidity of the interregnum century and was an integral part of defining the new social structure of the late imperial era.
		It is hardly an exaggeration to say that the success of Minnan (southern Fujian) in manufacturing and exporting high and medium quality ceramics during the Song-Yuan period was unmatched by other Chinese ceramic centers—the only exceptions were Jingdezhen in Jiangxi and Longquan in Zhejiang.

		For example, 13.6 million Minnan Chinese in Taiwan are found in one list of "Peoples less than 2% Christian." We hear there are 400,000 Christians (not less than 2%) in 2,000 congregations.
		The latest statistics from the OC International office here in Taiwan show that there are an estimated 443,996 members in 2,927 evangelical churches in Taiwan.
		Winter accordingly states that the Minnan Chinese group "does not constitute a pioneer field." He then asserts that the same percentage applies to what we know as the Mainland, or Mandarin Chinese, while highly inflating the overall size of the church in Taiwan.

		Third, the Minnan and Hakka both bury their dead twice (many ethnic groups south of the Yangtze river do).
		In sum, from the differences and similarities between the Minnan and Hakka cultures, as well as Lin's scientific research report, there is no longer any doubt that the two groups are the same people.
		The classification of the Minnan and Hakka as separate groups among the four major ethnic groups that we speak of in Taiwan society has triggered animosity.

		I question the use of the word "dialect" in this and other similiar discussions.
		As the Minnan Language and Mandarin Language are mutually UNintelligible, they are properly identified as distinct languages, albeit within the same language family.
		Taiwanese is a dialect of Minnan, but Minnan is a completely separate and distinct language from Cantonese, Mandarin, and other Chinese languages.
