	Taiwanese (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Taiwanese (Chinese: 台語, 台灣話 or 福佬話; Taiwanese Pe̍h-oē-jī: Tâi-oân-oē or Hō-ló-oē; Hanyu Pinyin: Táiyǔ or Táiwānhuà) is the primary spoken language of 70% of the Taiwanese population.
		Taiwanese is similar to the speech of the southern part of Fujian because most Taiwanese have ancestors who migrated from there in the 17th to 19th centuries.
		Taiwanese has extremely extensive tone sandhi (tone-changing) rules: in an utterance, only the last syllable pronounced is not affected by the rules.

		The names are from the Cantonese version of SM, but because they differ, I'm guessing they got the names from different anime versions or one from the manga, the other from one of the anime.

		Haruka's Taiwanese anime name is almost the same as her Taiwanese manga name, just that it has the character for "spring" in between the character for "king" (wang) and the character for "distant" (yuan).

		'''Taiwanese''' (Tâi-oân-oē or Hō-ló-oē; Chinese: 台語, 台灣話 or 福佬話; Hanyu Pinyin: Táiyǔ or Táiwānhuà) is a language spoken fluently by about 60% of the population of Taiwan.

	TAIWANESE HAKKA
		The Hakka were called this when they began migrating into Yue-speaking territory, and the exotic name seems to have stuck quite simply because, until fairly recently, many Cantonese and Min mistakenly thought that the Hakka were not Chinese at all, but rather some kind of strange non-Han "barbarians" like the Tai or the Miao.
		The names of origin areas of Hakka and Hoklo are almost identical.
		The name of Hakka started to appear in literature only after 17th century, at the same time of conflict between Hakka and non-Hakka began.

		Taiwanese-Americans believe that the current name of this office is inappropriate and should be changed.
		The letter points out that using a city's name (Taipei) as the title of a national level office is not only misleading but also inappropriate because the name belittles the office's position as well as Taiwan's status.
		Therefore, rectifying the representative office's name should not encounter any resistance but rather be welcomed by the U.S. The letter campaign was kicked off in late May. Since then, nearly 30 Taiwanese-American organizations have endorsed a statement of similar contents and enthusiastically joined the letter collection effort.

		The ultimate goal is to enact a new Constitution, having "Taiwan" replace the "Republic of China" as the country's official name.
