	Taiwanese aborigines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Taiwanese aborigines' languages, known as the Formosan languages, form all but one of the principal branches of the Austronesian language family.
		Aborigines were barred from interaction with people on the plains and were forced to wear aboriginal clothing and practice aboriginal customs to preserve their identity of a tribe that could be contained and barred from land claims.
		One curious feature of Taiwanese electoral ballots is that candidates for the aboriginal seats running for the pan-blue coalition generally use sinified names while candidates for those seats running for the pan-green coalition tend to use original aboriginal names.

	Head-Hunters and Cannibals
		I was told by some Han Taiwanese that aborigines are poor because they like to drink, and are lazy (from what I have seen, the former is undoubtedly true, the latter nothing but an outright slur).
		The pitiful state of the mountain aborigines (the lowland tribes have almost completely assimilated into Han society) is due in large part to the remoteness of their villages.
		Aborigines unwilling to submit to the new regime were pushed deeper and deeper into the mountains, and contained by a ring of electric fences and police outposts.

		Taiwanese culture also has influenced the West: Bubble tea and milk tea are popular drinks readily available around city centers in Europe, Canada and the United States.
		The Taiwanese localization movement continues to be a major driver of Taiwanese culture, as a reaction against both the previous repression by the previously Kuomintang-controlled government and the hostility of the PRC.

	CHAPTER 1
		Even though the Taiwanese aborigines currently constitute only 1.7% of the total population of Taiwan (Huang 1993: 13), the aborigines used to be the majority and were distributed all over the island of Taiwan prior to Han immigration, which began in the second half of the seventeenth century.
		Taiwanese were not allowed to organize any opposition party, or hold any national level elections, such as presidential and legislative elections.
		Since the awareness of being a Taiwanese was a threat to the Chinese KMT regime, the KMT regime proposed to "brain wash" Taiwanese through the national education system and the mass media (Ong 1993: 70-71).

		The aborigines during this period were either "assimilated" into the dominant Han culture or forced to emigrate to the interior and start their segregated life.
		During the war, the island was used as a major staging ground for the Japanese and upon their surrender it was passed on to the Nationalist government on the mainland.
		The Taiwanese celebrated their liberation from Japan, but it soon became clear that the mainlanders basically intended to maintain the colonial structures of exploitation only with Nationalist (Koumingtang [KMT] or Guomingdang) Chinese in control.

	CHAPTER 2 ETHNICITY, LANGUAGES, AND WRITING SYSTEMS IN TAIWAN
		Because Tiunn thought that Taiwanese vernacular was too vulgar to became a literate language, he advocated using Mandarin as the literate language to create this new literature.
		They claimed that their purposes were "to create the Taiwanese literature in the native Taiwanese languages (用台灣本土語言創造正統的台灣文學)," and "to achieve the standardization and literaturization of Taigi (追求台語文字化與文學化)" (Lim 1996: 97-99).
		Whether or not Taiwanese people are willing to accept or shift to Taibun deeply depends on people's national identity and their attitudes forward a new orthography.

		Exaggerating the savagery of the aborigines also had the effect of evacuating the middle ground between civilization and savagery—semi-civilized status—that many Westerners believed Japan occupied at the time, so the exaggeration did more than simply foreclose the possibility of solidarity with the aborigines, it also implicitly challenged the Western view of Japan as semi-civilized.
		To be sure, the aborigines of southern Taiwan had a bad reputation among the Chinese settlers in the area, and endemic violence punctuated the uneasy relationship between the two populations.
		At the same time, the submission of the aborigines to Japanese authority exaggerated the contrast between the respective civilizing processes that presumably were taking place simultaneously in Japan and among the aborigines, cutting off the possibility of a sympathetic comparison between their experiences.

	Full Text: High Prevalence of Hyperuricemia in Adolescent Taiwan Aborigines
		The prevalence of hyperuricemia in aboriginal adolescents mirrors the incidence of adult gout, implying a predisposition for adult gout in childhood, with genetic and/or environmental components presumably contributing to the differences between tribes; this may be of potential benefit to preventive efforts.
		The aborigines were from the Atayal, Paiwan, Bunun, Tao, Tsou, Puyumar, and Pancah tribes, while the non-aborigines were Fukien-Taiwanese and Hakka-Taiwanese from 2 villages located near the aboriginal areas who served as controls.
		The 778 aborigines were divided into 2 groups according to their tribal adult gout prevalence: 305 children from Atayal, Tsou, Bunun, and Paiwan tribes, and 473 children from the Pancah, Puyumar, and Tao tribes.

		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.
		Analysis of HLA suggests 13% Taiwanese aboriginal genes are in the current Taiwanese Hoklo and Hakka gene pool.
		A similar percentage of aboriginal ancestry can be estimated by comparing mutant patterns of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in Taiwanese Han, Taiwanese aborigines, southern Chinese and Southeast Asians.

		A person living in Taiwan, for example, may commonly mix pronunciations, phrases, and words from Standard Mandarin and Taiwanese, and this mixture is considered socially appropriate under many circumstances.
		Additionally, the Taiwanese identity incorporates Taiwanese aborigines, who are not considered Han Chinese because they speak Austronesian languages, predate Han Chinese settlement, and are culturally and genetically linked to other Austronesian-speaking peoples such as Polynesians.
		The problem of homonyms also exists but is less severe in southern Chinese varieties like Cantonese and Taiwanese, which preserved more of the rimes of Middle Chinese.

		The Aborigines represent a minority group in both quantity and quality whereas Taiwaneses is a majority in population and minority in political power (although the distribution of power has been shifting from the mainlanders to the Taiwanese in the past few years).
		Any one who claimed himself/herself to be a Taiwanese was considered to be separating the solidarity of the nation and was strongly forbiddened.
