'''''Li<u>e</u> hø<u>r</u>!''''' [[ | '''''Li<u>e</u> hø<u>r</u>!''''' [[Taioan'oe|Taiwanese]] is a beautiful and musical language spoken in Taiwan and by Taiwanese people around the world. This '''''Beginner's Guide to Taiwanese''''' will provide you with a brief introduction to the spoken language as well as a writing system called [[Modern Taiwanese Language]] (MTL). | ||
Most speakers of Taiwanese are not aware that there exist ways ([[cviarjixhoad|orthographies]]) to write it down. While there is not a single widely adopted system for the written form (not even in [[Harnji|Han characters]]), MTL is a very useful tool for learning Taiwanese. There are many other systems in use in [[Taioaan|Taiwan]], including ''[[Pe̍h-ōe-jī]]'' (POJ) and the similar [[Taiwanese Romanization System]]. Unfortunately most Taiwanese speakers will not be able to read any of these systems but they will understand it when you read it. | Most speakers of Taiwanese are not aware that there exist ways ([[cviarjixhoad|orthographies]]) to write it down.
