Taiwan, also known as Formosa, is an island located in the Western Pacific and East Asia with a tropical climate, annual typhoons and occasional earthquakes. It currently forms a substantial majority of the Republic of China (ROC), along with the islands of Pescadores Islands, Orchid Island, Green Island, Taiping Island and Pratas Islands.

The islands of Quemoy and Matsu Islands are administered under a separate Fukien Province by the ROC government. Although Taipei City and Kaohsiung City are on Taiwan island, they are directly administered by the ROC government under the municipal system. Taipei City is the de facto capital of ROC. And the government of Taiwan Province is located in Jhongsing Village, Nantou County.

The political status of Taiwan is a sensitive issue due to the existence of Cross-strait relations. Since the 1970s, many nations switched diplomatic recognition of China from Taipei to Beijing after the ROC lost its seat at the United Nations to the PRC. The ROC government has governed Taiwan since 1945, whereas the PRC has never had any jurisdiction over the island.

Taiwanese (pe̍h-oē-jī: Tâi-oân-oē or Tâi-gí; Chinese: 台語, 台灣話; pinyin: Táiyǔ, Táiwānhuà) is a dialect of Min Nan Chinese spoken by about 70% of Taiwan's population. The sub-ethnic group in Taiwan for which Taiwanese is considered a native language is known as Hoklo (the correspondence between language and ethnicity is generally true though not absolute, as some Hoklo speak Taiwanese poorly while some non-Hoklo speak Taiwanese fluently). Pe̍h-oē-jī (POJ) is a popular orthography for this language, and Min Nan in general.
