Karo, Lola Lakaw and Kuya Mayaw sound Filipino, we can understand quite a bit haha. If i didn't know they were Taiwanese, i would have thought they just spoke a local dialect. Amis are closer to us that we thought. The Indigenous Taiwanese really are our ancestors and closest relatives! 🇵🇭❤️🇹🇼
i heard the old lady said 'awak', in Malay 'awak' = 'you' also 'I', in my native Sundanese, also in Javanese and Banjar 'awak' = 'body', in Indonesian awak = member or crew (ex awak pesawat = flight crew), in Tidung 'awak' = 'waist'
Yes. This is because Taiwanese Aborigines are the cousins of Filipinos, Malays, Indonesians, Samoans, Tongans, Hawaiians, Borneoans, Orang Asli, Orang Laut, and the Maori people.
@@izzykyl it seems we are really split as Filipinos, we can definitely hear how our Austronesian languages evolved within our archipelago before our shared ancestors expanded south and east to populate the rest of Austronesia. These Amis speak in the stereotypical manner of Northern Filipinos: the Ilocanos and Ivatans, the Pangasinense, the Kapampangan, northern Tagalogs and all the Highland Igorot groups like Kalinga, Ifugao, Ibaloi, Bontoc etc (who are also the most culturally similar to Taiwanese Aborigines).. they share the use of a harder "it's a matter of fact" tone, almost like they have to always prove a point to the speaker. On the south side it seems Indonesians and Malays have a very different intonation, more malambot (soft) and melodious with the emphasis to soften the end of the sentence, even if they are angry, and this is identical to some Central and Southern Filipinos, especially the Hiligaynon-Visayan and Kinaray-a peoples. Interestingly, the intonation of Cebuano (the sister Visayan language of Hiligaynon and major Lingua Franca of the south), Tausug (the southernmost Visayan language, also spoken in Borneo), Maranao, Maguindanao, and Lumad languages isn't as soft as Indonesian or Hiligaynon. Its like a mix of the hard Taiwanese and soft Indon-Malay intonation.
Gosh what a cute kiddo... It's sad that speaking Mandarin with an Amis accent is considered bad. I hope he grows up and has a family that speaks Amis at home. That's how you keep language alive!
Raquel Robles wrong sir hawaiki is where the maoris say they came from which is modern day Hawaii. But yes polynesians come from taiwan/phillipines/malaysia
Raquel Robles actually no maori say they came from hawaiki tahitians say they came from avaiki .. hawaii is where they both come from and hawaii comes from savaii Hawaii Hawaiki Avaiki and savaii all mean the same thing. But historians say that they migrated from savaii samoa and dispursed into all islands of the pacific
0:45 this is my first time hearing amis language, they sound like one of the regional language in the philippines. they willl gradually lose it if the young generation stop speaking it. it is unfortunate that the origin of austronesian language is coming to an end.
This is clear proof the Taiwanese Aboriginal Peoples made their way to Taiwan through Luzon in ancient history. The movement through Ancient Sunday Landmass and ancient Pacific Inner-Seas (not Oceanic) seafaring.
@@ANTSEMUT1 The Taiwanese Aboriginal People did not practice oceanic Seafaring. The ancient inhabitants of the Filipino archipelago did. The Taiwanese Aboriginals are the descendants of Seafaring people of Indonesian Archipelago origin, as the peopling of Ancient Sunday continued, in the upward arcing expansion movement into and through the Filipino Archipelago. Taiwan was the last region to have landfall. Taiwan was a massive enough Island with no other Islands immediately North or East, where the new Seafarers making landfall did not continue beyond into the Pacific Eastward (Oceanic Seafaring). There may have been attempts at navigating (intially, by the 1st landfall Seafarers) to further ply the open Pacific East, however this obviously proved uneventful or not survivable in these ancient times. Oceanic Seafaring development and evolution occurred from and out of the Eastern Seaboard of the Filipino Archipelago. This is the evolution of advanced Seafaring thousands of years before the beginning of Chinese ship-building (open Sea vessels) commenced. Such ancient history of Pacific Ocean Seafaring was initiated between 7,000-8,000 years ago. Research Ancient and Prehistoric Sunda-Sahul landmasses. The movement is clear. Taiwanese Aboriginals did not cross the Sea strait from China to Taiwan. The movement was a continuation of Inter-Island Seafaring during two eras of submergence and resurfacing of Seas occurring during ice age changes in the Sunda-Sahul part of the World. It is also in error when it is stated that the Polynesians are descendant from Taiwanese Aboriginals. Melanesians, Micronesians, and Polynesians all are descendant from a series of Oceanic Seafaring out of the Eastern Seaboard of the Filipino Archipelago. Such movement skirted along Papua New Guinea, where mixing of Ancient Sunday and Sahul inhabitants resulted in the 1st Melanesians, and, the venturing into the open Pacific resulted in the steady creation of the Micronesians and Polynesians. Further mixing of Island-World people and advanced Seafaring resulted in Polynesians making landfall on New Zealand and Hawai'i. I majored in Cultural Anthropology. My specific area of studies were Ancient Sunda-Sahul, South American Indigenous Aboriginal Peoples, Aboriginal Peoples of The Western Hemisphere, Far East Asia, and Human Evolution in Africa and Asia.
@@SunnyIlha I'm gonna need sources on your information. There is a reason why the "Out of Taiwan" Model is widely supported and taught today. Linguistically, it makes sense that Taiwan would be the home of the ancestors of all Austronesians. The field of linguistics was even what the model was built on, later supported by material culture and genetics.
@@aringsinukuan769 Genetics, Prehistoric Human Migration movement, Prehistoric Human Geography, Prehistoric Sunda and Sahul Landmass appearance and reappearance, AND Linguistics all do not support or even track Taiwan *Island* as being the ancestors of *all* Austronesians. Taiwan Island is the cul-de-sac. It is the last main destination (though Okinawa may be the northern edge) of Prehistoric Austronesians, a recent description of a People (formerly called Malayo-Polynesian or Proto-Malay) whose original development as an evolving distinct linguistic Family had it's own ancestors moving out of Southeast Asia and Southernmost China into the prehistoric Sunda Landmass and characterized by being surrounded by the Inner Indonesian Sea, and Central and Southeast Pacific Ocean. The Austronesian People originate as being distinct Geographically, Culturally, AND Linguistically, once having been present in Sunda and the reappearance of Island terra firma due to the the changes in Sea levels over many thousands of years. The arc of Human movement originating out Southeast Asia and Southernmost China began approximately 65,000 years ago. The *Mapa* archeological human skill and body bone finds on Northern Southeast Asia and Southernmost China begin the story of this movement southwards. An earlier Human population of "Negrito" People (still a term that is not well suited for who it refers to) already were inhabiting Sunda. They are related ancestrally to the Onge, Jarawa and Sentinelese. These people are still to this day living in the mountains, remote jungle areas of Malaysia, throughout the Islands of Indonesia with more people I'm yne eastern hskf of the Archipelago, and in the remote mountains of the Philippines. The intermixing of Austronesians (who are best exampled in most aboriginal example by the Dayaks of Borneo) with the "Negrito" creates a distinct branch of Austronesian; for example, in much of the Central and Eastern Indonesian Archipelago, the Filipino Archipelago, certain Tribes in Taiwan, and with further intermixing with Papuan People along the northern coastal seaboard of New Guinea, are exampled by the Solomon Islanders, Fijians, Tongans, adjacent Islanders and New Caledonia. New Caledonia is itself the Seafaring springboard to Aotera Maori New Zealand. I'm sorry, I don't have time to write a book for you here. Nor do I have time to revisit all of my studies that earned me a B.A. in Cultural Anthropology over 4 years for you.
@@SunnyIlha What about the issue of the major Austronesian language branches Rukai, Tsouic, Puyuma, Atayalic, etc. being located in Taiwan and the only outlier being Malayo-Polynesian being found out of Taiwan. Bellwood proposed this is reflective of prolonged development before dispersal out of Taiwan, with the dispersal being fueled by overpopulation. Yes, the Tao (or Yami) of Orchid Island speak a Malayo-Polynesian langauge mutually intelligible with Ivatan, but there genetics show that they are more closely related to Formosans than to Filipinos. Remains of pigs found in the Philippines and Indonesia also exhibit close genetic grouping with domestic pig strains in Taiwan. Paper mulberry trees, used to make tapa fabric, from Indonesia and Oceania are also shown to have direct genetic links to the paper mulberry trees in Taiwan. There are no current Negrito groups today in Taiwan. Present day samples of Amis and Atayal today have no genetic admixture of Melanesian or Negritos. The admixture between Filipinos and Negritos is a more recent event. I'm willing to consider the Sundaland hypothesis, if you could give me your time. I still feel like as though the Out of Taiwan hypothesis, still, is the most likely of the hypotheses. You keep mentioning your Anthropology major, if you could I would like to read any paper you have written on this. But still, the "Out of Taiwan" is the most widely accepted hypothesis of the two and I can see why.
