歡迎回來，希望您喜歡我們上次的文章。

本次報紙將介紹台灣的居民。



居住在台灣的人口中，有接近98%是漢人。漢人源自於中國，大部分現居在台灣的漢人都是陸陸續續從中國飄洋過海定居台灣的。其中主要是來自福建省的河洛人，河洛人主要使用的語言是從福建的閩南地區而來，俗稱閩南語。



客家人的先祖則是來自於廣東南部，他們使用的語言就叫客家話。



近代，在1945年之後，中國各地也都有移民陸續抵達台灣，他們主要使用的語言就是中文。（現在中國叫做普通話）



剩下的2.25%人口是原住民，目前台灣官方承認的原住民族群共有14個。現在大部分都居住在台灣東部。下面是幾個最為人所知的族群：

阿美族最為人知曉就是他們的豐年祭：



泰雅族：



最有名的是他們的紋面文化。




葛瑪蘭族：



最有名的是威士忌

排灣族 -- 使用珠子與大量複雜的縫紉工法在其服飾上一直是他們族群最大的特點。



卑南族 -- 卑南族么壽會唱歌。尤其是南王部落，裡面的居民要是沒有拿過金曲獎會被笑。




魯凱族的文化非常接近排灣族。




賽夏族的文化受到阿美族與客家人的影響極深。背後用竹子點綴的臀鈴是他們的傳統服飾與特色。



另外賽夏族最為一般人所知的就是矮靈祭與祖靈祭。


布農族祭典超多。XD



[img]鄒族人口相對少，主要分布在日月潭一帶。[/img]


至於達悟族人，往昔也被稱為雅美族，主要居住在台灣東南方外海的蘭嶼。






多重文化的融合形成了特有的台灣文化，我們對外來的文化總是開放而且樂於接受。如果你有機會到訪台灣，相信我，你一定會對台灣人的友善與好客印象深刻！

接下來的幾篇報紙將會聚焦在筆者最喜歡的題目上：台灣食物！

不要轉台，幾天後，我們就會帶著台灣威力最強大的食物重返您的面前！

喜歡我們的報紙的話，請幫我們V+S唷!! 😃

下次見。

**********English Version**********

Welcome back! We hope you enjoyed the previous newspaper. : ) In this newspaper, we are going to introduce you to the people and population in Taiwan.



The Taiwanese population mainly consists of the Han people (about 98😵. The Han people originated in China, and most Han people that are currently living in Taiwan moved to Taiwan during different times. They are mainly the Hoklo from FuJian, whose main spoken language is the Min-Nan dialect of Fujian;



and the Hakka people whose ancestors originally migrated south to Guangdong, whose main spoken language is Hakka.



Later on, people from the mainland emigrated after 1945 as well. Their main spoken language is Mandarin Chinese.



The other 2.25% of the population consists of the Aborigines, divided into 14 major groups. They mostly live on the eastern side of Taiwan. The more well known groups are as follow:
The Amis(阿美族), who is known for their harvest festival:



The Atayas(泰雅族),



Who is known for their traditional facial tattoo:



The Kavalans (噶瑪蘭族):



The Paiwans(排灣族), whose extravagant decorations with beads and sewn patterns on their outfit is one of their biggest characteristics:



The Puyumas(卑南族),



The Rukais (魯凱族), who are culturally very close to the Paiwans,



The Saisiyats (賽夏族), whose culture is deeply influenced by the Atayas and Hakka people. The bamboo decoration on the back side of their traditional outfit is their specialty.



The Bununs(布農族), who has the most festivals of celebration,



[img][/img]The Tsous (鄒族),



And the Taos(達悟族), whom used to be known as Yamis(雅美族) back in the day, that resides on the Orchid island located on the south-eastern ocean of Taiwan.






The different cultures that had molten together to form the Taiwanese culture allow us to be very hospitable and accepting toward foreign cultures. If you ever have a chance to visit Taiwan, you would be amazed by the hospitality and friendliness of Taiwanese people! : )

Our next few newspapers would focus on my personal favorite topic: FOOD! Stay tuned for more mouth-watering foods that would blow your mind. Until next time! : )
