πΊπ€ Scholars discover ancient #Austronesian text, immediately blocked by Wikipedia's robot overlords for daring to lack a user agent. π€π Because, really, who needs access to historical #linguistics when you can have phabricator links instead? π

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.

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! αααα πΉ (Or, native Taiwanese to be exact.)

"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
