What language do people speak in Taiwan?

  • The main language is Mandarin Chinese (used in school, TV, and daily life).
  • Many people also speak Taiwanese (Hokkien) at home.
  • Some speak Hakka and local native languages too.
  • Younger people often know basic English, especially in cities.

In short: Mandarin is the main language, but Taiwan has a mix of languages.
