I heard that the mainlanders make up on 30% of the population in Taipei. However, people in Taipei still mostly speaks Mandarin, instead of Taiwanese.

I would think that most Taiwanese prefer to speak Taiwanese, even though they live in Taipei.

Of course I meant 闽南话. But why do people in Taipei speak Taiwanese instead of Mandarin, even though most of them are Taiwanese.

Because many of them are descendant of hoklo, majority taipei citizen can speak minnanyu, nowday younger people less fluent in minnan langguage

But in southern taiwan, minnan still popular throughout all ages

Thank to lee teng hui for his localization movement that allowing local taiwanese culture and langguage could developing into society, too bad that kuomintang banned taiwanese culture, especially during martial law

I wish taiwan can be idependent identity that can developing our minnan culture to the world

Kicks out all of waishengren, chiangkaisek is loser and he suck !

Taiwan toklip...bansui..bansui...

Since the majority of Taipei citizens are Hoklo and can speak minnanyu, why would younger people less fluent in minnan language?

Do the younger people in Taipei prefer to speak Mandarin?
