YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFor thousands of years, Taiwan has been the cradle of one of humanity’s most expansive cultural journeys. The Indigenous peoples of Taiwan belong to the Austronesian language family—linking them to communities across Southeast Asia and the Pacific, from the Philippines and Indonesia to Polynesia and Micronesia. Linguists widely consider Taiwan the original homeland of all Austronesian peoples. With over 1,257 languages spoken today across 14,000 km of ocean, the immense linguistic diversity found among Indigenous Taiwanese is among the strongest evidence for this origin. Discover how the world’s greatest maritime expansion began on the island of Taiwan.
