What dialect does people in Taipei speak? Options

[progen]

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.

Theres no such thing as "taiwanese",its 闽南语,a dialect spoken in Fujian province.

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

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?

Because in taiwan. Kuomintang goverment made effort to associate hoklo langguage with negative image, such like lowly rural langguage or gangsta related langguage, and there is even permanent banned in school, the kids who caught up speaking hoklo, will be punished by the teacher, they are going to kill hoklo langguage and assimilate their speaker into mandarin langguage since hoklo langguage and culture is the langguage that related with taiwan independence, all of this is kuomintang policy

No wonder young people are less fluent in hoklo even their parent are hoklo people

Don't even say the limitation and banning in goverment and public place

If not the lee teng hui left up martial law, minnanyu will be not longer existed,

If you see in mangka movie, still you can see taipei ppl speak hoklo especially in traditional district

Well, you had 8 years of Lee Tung Hui, and 8 years of Chen Shuibian. That is 16 years of local rule. I would assume that most people in Taipei are now speaking minnan instead of Mandarin.
