Taiwanese aborigine

Taiwanese aborigines or aboriginal peoples (; Tongyong Pinyin: yuánjhùmín; Taiwanese Pe̍h-oē-jī: gôan-chū-bîn, literally "original inhabitants") are the indigenous peoples of Taiwan. They are descended from the inhabitants of Taiwan who lived on the islands before Han immigration in the 1600s, and their languages, known as the Formosan languages, form all but one of the principal branches of the Austronesian language family.
