Learnt about the #Siraya language revitalisation efforts, with Onini choir performance. #Austronesian
Siraya was the first Formosan language to be written down. Dutch documentation 400 years ago played a vital role in their language revitalisation project. There are now Siraya-speaking children again.

The growing GenZ and GenAlpha rallies, which started here in the #Philippines and #Indonesia, and spread all the way to #Madagascar, are better called the "Austronesian Uprising". #Austronesian GenZ and GenAlpha are leading the way. Good job younglings. #RiseUp

It's not a 'battleground' when one side whines and everyone else sticks to the facts.
The ancestors of the Austronesians may have originated from the Asian mainland more than 8,000 years ago - before Austronesian languages and cultures developed in Taiwan - but it's just ridiculous to speak of a 'Chinese nation' and a 'Chinese civilisation' when neither existed at the time.

If you want a nice little #linguistics video about my native language #Tagalog, here's a well-explained intro to the #Austronesian alignment aka symmetric voice: https://youtube.com/shorts/MF_1Di6Hy3k
And if you combine this with tenses, Tagalog and other Austronesian languages are probably up there among #languages that have the most ways of conjugating verbs.

The #Austronesian, or #OutOfTaiwan, theory is the most plausible and widely accepted theory of how #SouthEastAsia islands, #Micronesia, #Melanesia, #Polynesia, & #Madagascar were inhabited. The Philippine #DepEd needs to update school textbooks, & stop pushing the #Malay theory.

Good article about #Taiwan #Austronesian ☝️
"After Taiwan passed the Household Registration Act in 1946...... Amis men started to refuse to take their wife’s name, to avoid discrimination by Chinese men.....The Chiang Kei-Sheck government of the time forced the Chinese naming system on the Amis people. Members of the indigenous group then started to seek more job opportunities in cities dominated by Chinese men, adding pressure on Amis men to adapt to Chinese views." -
What is a Filipino?
Watch and listen to my friend historian Xiao Chua. It is indeed important to note that pre-colonial Philippines had its own writing system which is a sign of a civilization. Hence why it was the Spaniards who adjusted to learn our language. Filipino intelligence is seen in our great Austronesian maritime expansion and language.

I’m an #Austronesian so this isn’t new to me but I still find it marvelous that #Malagasy in Madagascar 🇲🇬 is linguistically related to #RapaNui on Easter Island, Chile 🇨🇱.
The word “seven” in three languages:
Malagasy: fito
Tagalog: pito
Rapa Nui: hituTo blow your mind further, the closest distance between Madagascar and Easter Island is ~14000km through Africa, the Atlantic, and South America and not the Pacific where Austronesian languages are prevalent.

Having some reflection on myself being a #Han grown up in #Taiwan and found this fantastic podcast about a perspective from Taiwanese #Austronesian tho in #Mandarin "親愛的漢人" (Dear Han People!...)

The most accepted theory about migrations in Southern and Eastern #AsiaPacific is #Austronesian.
From #Taiwan, to the #Philippines, and then the rest of #SouthEastAsia, #Micronesia, #Melanesia, #Polynesia, and as far as #Madagascar.
If I'm going to interpret this, the natives of Taiwan survived as the primary people in what we know today as the Philippine archipelago. From the Philippines, they spread everywhere.
In other words, they're all #Filipino! ᜑᜑᜑᜑ 😹 (Or, native Taiwanese to be exact.)

She also officially took on the long delayed responsibility of historical #Han wrongdoing (racism and ethnic cleansing) and apologised to the #Austronesian residents

Finally went to the 'Museum of Philippine Maritime History'. I was in awe of our seafaring culture from the pre-colonial Austronesian period until the present day.
We are Austronesians, seafarers of the Pacific! You know how much I love boats, ships and galleons.

"Artists like #Abao are at the forefront of a whole new generation of #Taiwanese musicians who do not sing in Mandarin Chinese, but rather their own #Austronesian languages, native to #Taiwan.
Their popularity reflects changing tastes in Taiwan, away from an exclusively Chinese-centered pop culture toward one that is uniquely Taiwanese. The shift has been further fueled by an overdue recognition of #Indigenous culture and language in Taiwan..."https://www.npr.org/2022/12/28/1144248191/taiwan-music-abao-indigenous
