Taiwanese indigenous peoples [SEP] Introduction
Taiwanese indigenous peoples or formerly Taiwanese aborigines, Formosan people, Austronesian Taiwanese or Gāoshān people (this is particularly used by mainland Chinese), are the indigenous peoples of Taiwan, who number almost 569,008 or 2.38% of the island's population—or more than 800,000 people, considering the potential recognition of Taiwanese plain indigenous peoples officially in the future. Recent research suggests their ancestors may have been living on Taiwan for approximately 5,500 years in relative isolation before major Han (Chinese) immigration from mainland China began in the 17th century. Taiwanese indigenous peoples are Austronesian peoples, with linguistic and genetic ties to other Austronesian peoples.
