| Jan 27, 2014 at 6:31 | comment | added | hippietrail | @AndrewGrimm: Exactly. It's a poorly thought out tag that was here before I arrived. I started a meta topic about it but nobody joined in yet. In this case though I thought it must be intended to mean "The Taiwanese language" apart from Mandarin, which is more adequately called Hokkien. On it's own "Taiwanese" is just too ambiguous I think. | |

| Jun 21, 2013 at 10:21 | comment | added | Stan | I suggest you learn Mandarin Chinese. Hokkien is a dialect, mainly used in Taiwan and Fujian Province -- as Hokkien is very different from Mandarin Chinese, most Chinese people don't understand it. But if you know Madarin, you can easily travel around whole China without language barrier. Furthermore, of course, learning resources of Mandarin are much more than Hokkien. BTW, you know Japanese, that's good, because many Taiwanese know Japanese too. | |
