in a site I've found that are the following:
_mandarin (or "guoyu")
_minnanhua (or tayu, recognized as taiwanese language)
_hakka
_various aborigenal languages
_some japanese
another says that the aborigenal people of taiwan is known as "Gaoshan". they use to speak an austronesian language before the chinese colonization of XVII century and that the official one is the "amoy" a variant of chinese, but the tribal groups of the island are 26 each with a proper language.
