The Heritage and Revival of a Language
Taiwanese (Tâi-gí) is still very much part of everyday life, even though people often assume it’s old-fashioned or limited. In fact, the language has been making a noticeable comeback in recent years. In this Taiwan Talks session, we’ll look at how Tâi-gí shows up in daily conversations and why it’s linked to older generations, politics and christian liturgy. We will also look at its growing presence in literature, music and film. With these examples, plus a simple language lesson, the session highlights how Tâi-gí offers a unique and distinctive way to understand Taiwan.
