The Paiwan Language

A brief introduction to the Paiwan language of Southern Taiwan. Paiwan is an highly conservative language, preserving vocabulary and pronunciations that are similar to Proto-Austronesian. The Taiwanese Aboriginal languages are extremely varied and have the largest amount of diversity among all the Austronesian languages. Paiwan for example, preserves distinct sounds (such as q, ts. lj) that have merged in all Austronesian languages outside Taiwan. Resources: Ferrell, Raleigh (1982). Paiwan Dictionary.
