日誌 :: Taiwanese Chinese

Taiwanese Chinese n (1989, UseNet debuted) : the Chinese language as spoken in Taiwan -- used especially with the implication that it is clearly distinguishable from Chinese spoken in China yet not so divergent as to be a separate language.

Taiwanese Chinese (spoken language) is a mixture of Madarin (main part), Hō-ló, Haka, Japanese and even native tongues.

I am not trying to raise any argument, once I have time (maybe after 10 years?), I may continue writting this kind of flame baits.
