The [[Taioaan Jidpurn sitai|Japanese ruled Taiwan]] from 1895 to 1945. Extensive contact with the [[Jidguo|Japanese]] language has left a legacy of Japanese loanwords. Examples are: [[otofbae]] (from オートバイ ootobai "autobike", an "Engrish" word) and [[pharng]] (from パン pan "bread", which is itself a loanword from [[Portugal-guo|Portuguese]]). Grammatical particles borrowed from Japanese, notably ''tek'' (from teki 的) and ''kaf'' (from か), show up in the Taiwanese of older speakers.
