-==Notes==
-''Takao'', ''Tancoia'', ''Tankoya'', former names of modern-day [[Køhioong]], originates from the [[Makatao]] language of the local aboriginal tribe and translates as "bamboo forest". Founded near the end of the Ming Dynasty ([[Beeng-tiaau]]) in the 17th century, the village was known as ''Tvafkao'' in the Hoklo language ([[Høxlør-oe]]) spoken by most of the early immigrants. The Harnji for ''Tvafkao'' literally meant "to beat a dog".
-In 1895, Taiwan was ceded to Japan as part of the [[Treaty of Shimonoseki]]. In 1920, the city’s name was changed to ''Køhioong'' ({{jid|高雄|Takao}}). After control of Taiwan was handed to the [[Tionghoaa Binkog|Republic of China]] in 1945, the official romanization of the city name came to be “Kaohsiung”, based on the [[Wade-Giles]] romanization of the [[Standard Mandarin]] reading of the kanji name.
