A Sinorama survey of households in northern, southern, eastern and western Taiwan suggests that although Taiwanese is still the main language spoken in the home, households with higher levels of education are less likely to speak Taiwanese there. Mixed families are likely to speak Taiwanese at home, however, and many mainlanders even claim to speak Taiwanese "quite well!"
本刊對北中南東四個地區所做的問卷發現，台語雖然還是家庭內使用較多的語言，教育程度越高的人也較不傾向於使用台語，但通婚家庭已有不少比例講台語，大多數人會視交涉對象講台語來回應，而且，非本省閩南籍人士有許多人認為自己「台語說得還不錯」。
