Name Origin

The name "Taiwan" originated from the Sirayan language (Siraya-gie). The Austronesian language family to which Sirayan belongs includes most of the languages spoken in the western Pacific, including Polynesian, Indonesian, Filipino and Malaysian. The word "Tao" (pronounced Ta-o) means "person" or "people" in both the Tao language and all Philippine languages.
