    Taiwanese Mandarin ≠ Hokkien
    Taiwanese Mandarin is the mandarin with Taiwanese accent but the same language China officially uses, while Hokkien is also called Taiwanese (language), belonging to Min language family mentioned in the video.

    Error on your research: Hokkien is what southern people in Fujian province of China speaks. It is also the dialect that a lot of Chinese in Southeast Asia speaks. It is not from Taiwanese Mandarin and native language.

    I think Taiwanese Mandarin and Taiwanese are different. Taiwanese is Hokkien but Taiwanese Mandarin is MANDARIN with Taiwanese accents :taiwan_flag:

  • @chaoqin5326
    @chaoqin5326 Před rokem +7

    There are some big mistakes in the language part. At 3:40, the number now is about 80% (for spoken mandarin), and for writing the number is 95%. At 3:45 there is no source for this, and this is far from reality... And Min at 4:11(one dialect) is extremely similar to Hokkien at 4:35 (actually the same thing, slightly different by history). And Hokkien is not Taiwanese mandarin... Mandarin from Taiwan is mostly different in writing and is mostly called traditional Chinese.

    Man, talk about nostalgic & informative. Although it’s been two years since the last SC video, I can surely and excitedly say you guys have picked up right where you left off in terms of teaching history and producing high-quality video. This was great! The footage and editing were both excellent & kept my interest engaged. The narrator was also smooth & clear. It’s so good to see this channel back up & running. I cannot wait to learn more about the world 🗺 & see what other video ideas pop up on here. Excellent work to EVERYONE involved on this staff!

    The myth about Taiwan sharing a common history with China is just that. The Taiwanese people actually share DNA and culture with Austronesian people in Pacific Islands such as New Zealand. Culturally speaking Taiwan shares similarities with both Japan and China because it used to be part of the Manchu Empire that colonized both Taiwan and China before Taiwan becoming a Japanese territory. The present day China inherits most of its culture from the defunct Soviet Union because Soviet funding and direct involvement created the People's Republic with no relationship to Taiwan.

      That's a ridiculous take among ridiculous takes. Indigenous Austronesian people are only about 3% of Taiwan's population. Roughly 96% of Taiwanese people are of Chinese descent.

      @@SL16867, Your government lied to you. DNA sequencing has proved that over sixty-five percent of Taiwanese have Austronesian genes. Furthermore, of the two hundred seventy-eight haplotypes identified in non-indigenous Taiwanese those you call Chinese descents, thirty-one haplotypes are exclusive to Taiwan. That means that Taiwan is the origin of the Austronesian migration. file:///C:/Users/ROBERT~1.SUN/AppData/Local/Temp/MicrosoftEdgeDownloads/6dd3c2d3-e927-4aab-a227-9628fa8d5f6b/s41439-022-00228-3.pdf

    0:42 (saying it's called The Republic of China from 1949) is incorrect, since from 1895 to 1945 Taiwan was colonized by Japan. And after the second world war, from 1945 it has already become a part of The Republic of China.
