Hi
I wanted to know more about the history of Taiwanese. I'm guessing it came when people from Fujian went to Taiwan but what type of Hokkien was it that went with people to Taiwan to become Taiwanese?
Thanks
Taiwanese
Hi Jilang,

Re: Taiwanese
Chin/Qing Dynasty banned prople for overseas because they know there were pirates, and Chin/Qing Dynasty want to protect her people from that, or they can't/afraid the pirates as well, which we don't know.limyangyang wrote: Most Minnan/Hoklo migration from Fujian were from Quanzhou, Zhangzhou & Amoy(Xiamen) region. Minnan was the first grooup to migrate to Taiwan. Later Hakka & some Chaozhou follow suit. Hakka was banned from migrating overseas during a short period of years of Qing Dynasty, for some reasons, which I had forgotten.
Where the pirates comes from? There's a saying that those pirates were from Japan. But I think those pirates not only comes from Japan, but other countries near China, maybe even from Taiwan, back to that time. After all, Chin/Qing is really weak Dynasty on sea power.
