Different Islands, Same Tongue: Relationship Between Austronesians and Taiwanese Indigenous Peoples 

I am proud of my Austronesian roots. Hello to all the Austronesian countries of Southeast Asia, Melanesia, Polynesia, Micronesia, and also to Taiwan, Madagascar and Australia.

ive visited Taiwan twice, meeting Taiwanese, and they have the purest heart of mankind. I love Taiwan, maybe my great great great ancestors came from this place. i feel the conection🙂

Although we are separated by sea...we are still the same Austronesian.Austronesian shape South East Asia. Love from Malaysia

❤I am bdayuh tribal from sarawak. Long may our ancestor share the same heritage❤

My father is Maori and my Mother is Samoan. Linguistically I can see similarities in every language found in Polynesia and south east Asia. You see it very clearly when counting. Also base words like house..Samoan (Fale) Maori (whare) land...Samoa (venua) Maori (Whenua) we are all Aiga

Tao people are similar to the Ivatan people in the northern Philippines. in fact both languages are mutually intelligible and culturally and ethnically related directly. I hope more Taiwanese docs can explore the similarities shared between Taiwan's indigenous peoples and ourselves, the people of the Philippines. We are the closest relations to them from among all Austronesian peoples.

Collecting bones of the hunted animals (sometimes humans) and displaying them by the roof inside the house is common practice in northern Philippines too.

It's very important to recognize Taiwan is a maritime nation.

I hope Taiwan can reinvigorate its Austronesian languages. Greetings from your southern neighbor!

funny to realize... the Taiwanese are more historically, DNA, and language similar to Philippines, Indonesia, etc.. than China

Migration of people come in different waves (times) and from different directions. In Taiwan, 5000 years ago there were people living there and 500 years later another group could have arrived from mainland China, Japan, or Vietnam. Then a hundred years later, there could have been a reverse migration which could have started another migration to Oceania. Migration patterns are never one way; it is very dynamic going in all different directions over thousands of years.

Thanks very great documentary!

Don't forget about malagasi, people from Madagascar island (Africa). They are part of us too.

This is so cool! I'm so proud to be of Taiwanese descent

Quite clear.

Taiwan, Philippines Indonesia Malaysia the migration route.Tatala sounds Tala of Tagalog language. Tatala seems an abbreviated Tanglaw Tala (star light).(guided by star light).

Vahey is Bahay in Philippines

like the Dayak tribe of Kalimantan and the Maori tribe of New Zealand My grandfather came from the island of Taiwan, I just realized why he doesn't have a face like a Mongol with slanted eyes and yellow skin, it turns out that the indigenous tribes of Taiwan and Indonesia are the same

interesting.

Tao is the Tagalog (Filipino) word for person. This could very well be related to the Tao people.

Thank you for this presentation . I am a native Fijian . When I google search - DNA admixture of the Fijians - it says Asian and 30% Melanesian . Blood thru science tell us the truth similar to the mulberry DNA that you enalized.

Only Philippines Malaysia Indonesia Austronesian our boats are similar 😅

Tai Kra Dai people are the Austronesians that remained on the mainland and mixed with other local indigenous and Yue Han groups.

I'm a Filipino with Chinese descent (although only maybe 1/8) but is born into Manila culture - seeing Austronesians but born into Chinese culture. (while keeping Austronesian culture) is very surreal and fascinating.

taiwan is for the natives..not for mandarin speaking chinese.

Its like the movie moana where the people use the sky and stars as navigation for new land, then they spread out. It does have fictional tales but some of it are true.

10:08 minutes explains everything. there are 2 routes . The western route will have a large mix with Krai Dai (this is common in Indonesia, after Austronesian 55% there will be Kra Dai 40+% ) others 5% . in Indonesia only the Nias people are close to 80% pure Austronesian, 20% more kra dai.

South Pacific nations must remember the seed of where they came from…

12:50 that's a Tapa Cloth from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬

No one is talking about the indigenous austronesian nanman and yue people of southern china

Great, thanks for sharing. Free Taiwan

Some Indonesians are trying hard to point that Austronesians originated in Indonesia even though they don't even possessed above 50% percentage of Austronesian Genetics.

so taiwan is not really chinese?

Lima gang🖐️

Vahey = Bahay (Filipino) = house?

Everyone knows about history of Maya's Kingdom. The Maya's king was Dai (or : Thai and "Thai-neai" or his Thai dynasty). He was Japhetic, the only. But his people was Hamitic (Cananite) Them left Maya land and came down to Pacific before 700 BCE, then reign from Tabi land (today Jayapura Papua). So please come to Papua and let start from here.

Tachi in Japanese. In fact Japanese are distant cousin of Austronesia😊

0:20 😮

Syempre "tao" sa Tagalog, "tawo" sa Bisaya at "tau" sa Tausug sa Ingles "man, person" na. Sama sa tribu sa Taiwan Tao.

Tao means tao in the Philippines language and that's called human in English

Hawaiian and taiwanese are cousins

Tao people = Human people?

The Queen of the South will Rise🤗The Land of Ophir🤫Where King Solomon got its Gold🤗 Columbus, Magellan, and Bush knew🤗

Brother you don't want to be Chinese? Might as well join the club of Austronesian/ASEAN countries.

Sundaland make Austronasia not taiwan taiwan part of Austronesia

Austronesian words will be refuted by prof Malay who have a lot of hallucinations😂

I think Austronesia came from Indochina, they were eliminated by the new arrivals, Khmer Thai, Vietnam. Then Austronesia moved to Malaysia and Borneo, then to the Philippines, then to Taiwan. Logically, how can Taiwan, such a small island, give birth to such a big nation? Why? not from Madagascar? /rukyu Okinawa Japan? How can one of the wonders of the world, the Angkorwat temple in Cambodia, namely a Hindu temple, stand in the midst of millions of Buddhists? Just like the Indian Mahenjodaro theory where the Dravidians were eliminated by the Aryans. Even before the arrival of Austronesia, the islands had been inhabited by the black race for thousands of years. and to this day it still exists, such as the Filipino negrito, the Thai negrito, the Malaysian negrito and the sentinel tribe on the Andaman Islands.

Which place in south east Asia have the highest number and density of people? Java island have the highest density. It is highly likely Austronesian originate from java, not the other way round.

Austronesian did not originate from Taiwan😂 and where the Taiwanese came from, China ! Then Taiwan is China.😂

big ship existed alr during Solomon Era... I suggest to you read about Solomon's Gold Temple on Bible.. it was suspected the origin of gold used to build gold temple came from the Philippines.. that's why Filipino language have loan words from Hebrew language.

Malays also are taiwan indigenous

Tala are star in Filipino
