Taiwanese suffers from not having a standardised romanisation system - POJ, TLPA and other be-acronym’d scripts all compete for attention, to the detriment of the language as a whole.

Taiwanese is a language from the same family as Mandarin Chinese (which I already have a conversational ability in) and the difference between the two is said to be akin to that between two Romance languages, say French and Spanish.
