Taiwanese

Taiwanese (; Taiwanese Pe̍h-oē-jī: Tâi-gí or Tâi-oân-oē) is a dialect of Min Nan spoken by about 70% of the Taiwanese population. The sub-ethnic group in Taiwan for which Taiwanese is considered a native language is known as Hoklo (the correspondence between language and ethnicity is not absolute, however, as some Hoklo speak Taiwanese poorly while some non-Hoklo speak Taiwanese fluently).
