Hokkien and Taiwanese


Recommended Posts

Posted

I was wondering... is the Hokkien spoken in Taiwan the same thing as what they call "Taiwanese"??

Also, can anyone show me some online resources for learning the Taiwan version of Hokkien?

I guess under your terms I am rather ignorant too, hehe...

Hope the link below helps, I really don't know about this subject, even though my former chinese teacher was Taiwanese.

Wikipedia is really helpful. ;)

Oh, and don't consider yourself ignorant for not knowing that.

In any case, we are all ignorant in our own ways. I am ignorant in astro-physics, engineering, architecture, politics, history of art, Turkey's history, etc (a billion things). There is infinite things we don't know, compared to the little that we do. So... feel ignorant, but not as something bad, but as something you are constantly trying to redeem by learning.

Yes. Also called Minnanyu/Minnanhua or Hoklo.
