Language School Explorer - Taiwanese_language information. In Taiwan, however, the Tâi-lâm ( Tainan, southern Taiwan) speech is the variant of prestige, and the other major variants are the northern speech, the central speech (near Taichung and the port town of Lo̍k-káng in Changhua County), and the northern (northeastern) coastal speech (dominant in Gî-lân).
