- Who are the Taiwanese Aborigines and just how did they shape most of modern Southeast Asia as we know it today? Today, let's take a look at one of the more enigmatic peoples of Asia, who remained largely untouched by Western or Eastern society for generations, yet had contributed more than they could've ever imagined.
Please let me know your thoughts on the Taiwanese Aborigines and other Austronesians, thanks to Ekmal Sukarno for suggesting the video. I told I'd get to it eventually. Thanks for watching!
Apologies for the lack of videos the past week, I've been incredibly sick, but decided to record anyways.

I'm from Taiwan, Paiwan tribe. I’m living in Canada. I have a face that looks like lots different countries's people 😂 The Chinese in Taiwan think I am Filipino or I come from other countries. It's because of my brown skin. I have traveled to some countries.... Philippines, Thailand, Hawaii, Australia, they’re all think I'm the local of their country 😄 In any case, no one can guess where I really come from? Only my tribes people know where I am really from 😅👍🏽❤️ I am proud to be an indigenous, aboriginal or an native. I think the most impor things are indigenous peoples around the world must unite and supporting each tribe, defend and advance our rights 💪🏽 brothers and sisters, let us continue to fight back until our nation is great again🦾
Taiwanese Aborigines, Filipino, Indonesian, Malaysian, Polynesian are one people!
Long Live Austronesia!
Greetings from Philippines!👐🇵🇭
They mistaken me for Chinese or Korean because I have slanted eyes but I am 100% Filipino because my great grandmother is of Spanish descent, she is half Spanish and then my great grandfather is Muslim
my great grandfather his ancestors are from the tausug tribe because the tausug is original in malaysia
Chinese in Taiwan are Migrants from china
@@jessamaeontua8611 You aren’t a 100% if you said your great grandmother has Spanish blood
@@hallooos7585 citizenship isn't base on blood. If both of his parents are Filipino, he is Filipino regardless of what descendant he came from.

My parents are Austronesians of Madagascar who, during the 60s, were told by Elders that we originated from the Island of Taiwan. As a result, my parents represented the Indian Ocean Island/Nation of Madagascar in Taipei. Result? I became the 1st Malagasy baby to be born back onto "The Island of the Ancestors"!!!! I'm extremely proud of it!! My parents and I went to visit our Ancestral Tribes in the mountains and, apparently the Locals wept and said: "Our Children are back" after my parents dressed in Traditional clothes.
Since the mid 1980s and, with indirect pressures from the ever-present French Neo-Colonials, Madagascar was no longer in its original POLITICAL status "the African Union & Madagascar" but just "moulded in"!
As much as World youth mixes positively into the Future, it is more often noticeable that there are ethnic mixed between African and Austronesian, (just like more mixed between Europeans and Afro-Carribeans in the UK, France and in the Western World!).
Nevertheless, the FOUNDING LANGUAGE and fundamental Traditions are that of the Austronesians, with all its ethno-tribal variants Madagascar contains. It is important to stress as well, that the revival and underscoring of Austronesian identity (the 3 main being Merina, Betsileo and, Vezo) are fast seen as "racism" by the rest of the population. As if it were forbiddent to BE ONESELF and BE PROUD of it! There is, apparently, a lot of stigma in Madagascar about discussing and turning heads towards the Reality: the EAST is were language, traditions, fundamental food base, Music, Oral tradition, Poetry, Respect and Worship of the Ancestors comes from: FACT.
I was "Made in Taiwan" and, most PROUD of it!😃
Don't forget Borneo though you guys spent a lot of time there, along with with Taiwan.
@@ANTSEMUT1 Very true indeed!! Centuries before there were any Indonesia/Malaysia/Singapore... before any Christianity or Islam arrivals
I don't know what you're talking about. Every malagasy ethnic group is austronesian but also african, those from the highlands just have more asian ancestry on average
i am happy for you my brother, fellow austronesian here from nothern part of the philippines (close to taiwan) living in the states.
That story is just so cool
Fun fact: South-East Asians discovered Madagascar before Africans.
Bit its in Africa tho how the he'll did my kind discover it first? Its like 10 kilometers away
Stay off that shit ok. Africa is thee cradle of human civilization. Let's not forget that!!!!!!

I went to the southern part of Taiwan specifically in Kaohsiung and Pingtung in 2019 to celebrate the lantern festival and I noticed the huge similarities of Filipino tribes with the Taiwanese tribes. It was like I was sent back to the Philippines but I was in Taiwan. 😂
Austronesians did not came from Taiwan directly they all came from Southern China separately according to dna test results matter of fact the vast majority of ISEA populations are more related to Tai-Kadai people from Southern China than Taiwanese people.
@@oneviwatara9384 Yes, the Austronesieans originated in what is now known as South China but not sure where you got the rest of your information. The Tai-Kadai people have only a little (1-10%) DNA of Austronesiean whilst the areas of South Vietnam have the Native Cham Austronesieans and South Thailand have Malays. The whole region of Maritime SEA are all Austronesiean (Malay/Indo being Half Austronesiean/Austroasiatic, Filipinos being around 80-98% Austronesiean) and they are dominant in population numbers around 300+mil.
@@kikoyworld
All the dna test results on the Austronesian and Austro-Asiatic peoples are available on the internet for anyone to see if you really want to know the truth about them like for an example where did they came from or who are they related to, etc, I would suggesting you to spend at least 6 months on its once you did you'll know the truth what I'm talking about the so called Austronesian and Austro-Asiatic peoples was invented by white people the vast major of light skin Austronesian and Austro-Asiatic peoples theirs main Y-Chromosome belong to subgroups of O1a and O2 (Lao people origin), whereas the black and blown Austronesian and Austro-Asiatic people they're the natives peoples of MEAS and ISEA the Cham people some say they're ethnic related to South Indians people one thing for sure they're not ethnic to Austronesian or ethnic related to Austro-Asiatic peoples as you can tell by the color of theirs skin.
@@kikoyworld Eastern Indonesia is also Melanesian too with West Papua and Maluku,East Timor as well.Melanesian-Austronesian mixed,we have no Austro Asiatic ancestry at all out this way.
@@gpl992 Actually that is half true what you said. Yes eastern parts of Indonesia are Melanesian/Austronesian. However, western Indonesia and Malaysia are Austronesian/Austroasiatic or Austronesian/Tai-Kradai. The interesting part is some parts of Indo/Malay like Sabah, Minahasa and part of Kalimantan (Dayak areas) are all more closely related to Filipinos. In terms of DNA the ones with most "Austronesian" dna are Taiwan indigenous tribes, Filipinos, some parts of Malay (Sabah) and Indo (Minahasa and parts of Kalimantan) and oddly some parts of Polynesia.
I love Taiwan. I visited for a week. It is a spectacular place.
When I visited Taiwan, I remember seeing two friends walking down the street. One friend looked Chinese and the other looked SE Asian, I was surprised that I could tell the difference so easily, but it was there, one had a whole lot more Aboriginal blood than the other.
There is a fascinating museum about Aboriginal Taiwanese in Taipei. Interesting stuff.

Kind of strange that these Taiwanese aboriginals formed the basis of the Austronesian peoples, who have been confirmed genetically to have sailed as far east as the Americas. Just goes to show how much we don't know of our extraordinary world and the ability of our species to overcome the impossible.

Thank you so much Masaman, for making the video that I requested for so long.
Of course! Sorry about the sick voice in the video.
Masaman, you sounded completely normal. You didn't sound sick at all. By the way, can you also please make a video about the differences between Northern Han Chinese and Southern Han Chinese. Thanks.
+Leonard Carr Yeah, I'm not Indonesian, I'm actually Malaysian. That name Sukarno comes from my father who was given that name in honour of the Indonesian leader.

+PissMenn Yeah I know what you're talking about. However, my father was given the name Sukarno because he was born before Malaysia's independence in 1957.
Though most Taiwanese like myself are adapted to Chinese culture, lot of us might been Austronesian people aka indigenous Taiwanese one point in the history. Sadly those histories weren't well documented enough by the Qing dynasty government back then. Despite every accessible documentations from both every regime led Taiwan and my own family points out I'm from Hokkien background. I can tell there's not only Hoklo, but some features of Philippines or indigenous Taiwanese on me and my father. For 200 undocumented years, Hoklos had converted a lot of indigenous Taiwanese to Chinese, cus for them it's either adopting a Chinese name and married to Hoklo prople, or get killed or expelled from their own tribes.

What about the ainu in Japan
ShAdOwMaN are they austronisants
They are not Austronesians, they are their own group. The surviving relative they have is the Andaman Islanders, and in a way, the Tibetans; according to this channel's other video.
the Ainu's ancestors, the Jomon people, came from the landbridge between the Asian mainland and the Japanese islands during the last ice age. They were not the same people as Austronesian.
They are probably Eurasian
they're the earliest split of austronesian perhaps
They look like igorots on the northern region of Philippines
Yes
The culture are too similar to deny the LOST relationship BETWEEN the NORTH EAST INDIA ,MOSTLY around Nagaland major tribes , Arunachaltribes etc.
Just when I was researching Taiwanese myself. Although I knew most of what you said, it's nicely made video notheless. Good job!
As I am also doing research on Taiwanese aborigines, the narrative here was actually only focusing on "Mountain aborigines" which refused to cooperate with the Qing government and finally being conquered by the Japanese colonial government.
Actually, there is also another category, "Plains aborigines," a group of tribes starting to cooperate with Dutch government, later the Qing government. "Plains aborigines" became the ally of the Qing government to fight against Chinese immigrants and "Mountain aborigines." To divide and rule such three groups, the Qing government even drew two "Aboriginal borders" in sequence to split Taiwan into three regions, and reallocated "Plain aborigines" into the central zone among the three regions.
Although "Plains aborigines" were less known in the public( mostly because they were treated as "Chinese" during the Japanese colonial areas,) they were actually the ones deeply exploited by the Chinese immigrants and the Qing empire. They were mobilized into warfares, and some even participated in repressing rebellions in mainland China, but the Qing government's compensations for these tribes' warfare --land rights in the central zone among three regions were not well executed and protected. For example, for Pangsoa tribes(崩山八社） in Maoli and Taichung, although the Qing government required them to police aboriginal borders, which took nearly all manpower of the tribes, the Qing government's land allotment in return was located 60kms to 100km farrwary from their tribes--so basically they did not really get any returns!
Many tribes of "Plains aborigines" collapsed in the late Qing era due to such kind of state extraction, so many of them only abandon their own cultures and become more like Chinese settlers, and that' why the Japanese colonial government treated them as the Chinese, instead of indigenous people. Until very recently, the offspring of these tribes started to ask their identity back.
Thanks from Taiwan for an enlightening video!
I'm curious to know if any new studies have been done on the matter. The sciencedirect source was from 2014.
Here's to hoping that more is being done to research and preserve the diversity of languages on the planet.
I would like to point out a phrase from your video that "Taiwan was returned to China". The Island's been a contentious issue ever since Japan's defeat in WWII. And technically, Taiwan's been in a kind of political limbo on the international stage. We either exist as a country or a province depending on who you ask. Honestly, I'm just glad that the simple mention of Taiwan hasn't ignited controversy here.
I'd like to thank you for keeping politics out of your videos Masaman. And if you ever get interested in going down this particular rabbit hole, I'd be happy to supply sources. Taiwan is a complicated and messy story. Doesn't stop the island from being a fascinating mix of diverse cultures though =).

Taiwan is a Free independent Nation
If you agreed to the ownership of Taiwan by Japan, then you shouldn't have a problem with Taiwan being "returned" to China(ROC).
If, however, you see any sort of "occupation" by outside forces like the Dutch, Spanish, Chinese or Japanese as illegal, then you can be mad about his usage of "return" to China.
indonesia , Pilipine , taiwan , japan = Austronesian Country
Around 7:01 - 7:02 - there is a message that flashes very fast. Says "this is what you will see before you die." Picture of Taiwanese aboriginal man throwing spear. Flashes so fast.
The Chinese in Taiwan should apologise to the Taiwanese Aboriginals just like Australian and Canadian whites did for the harms they did to the aboriginals over hundreds of years
Their government already officially apologised.
I think Japan government apologized to them too. I remember a movie about them: seediq bale
The Tao tribe of Orchid Island (Yami) in Taiwan are more related to the Ivatan tribe of Batanes Islands in the Philippines. Their language is classified as Batanic which is sometimes considered a branch of the Philippine Language Family but sometimes considered one of the main branches of the Austronesian Language Family at par with Malayo-Polynesian and Formosan languages. The Tao tribe could have been the descendants of Batanic peoples back-migrating to Formosa who settled in Yami Isle.
There are 19th century Western accounts of regular sea-faring traffic between the aboriginal peoples of Taiwan and Orchid Island and the islands of the Philippines. This was back in the days when the Qing authorities still had no control over most of the East Coast of Taiwan south of Ilan and no Chinese had really touched Orchid Island. The Japanese and Western powers were interested in the behaviors of the East Coast Formosan indigenous peoples because of the perception (based on some actual experiences) that shipwrecked Japanese or Westerners were likely to be massacred by those aboriginal Formosans. So, the fact that some aboriginals had ocean-going craft and could navigate back and forth to the Philippines was of interest.
Hi! I'm Yami (=Tao) and you can see the photo in this film ua-cam.com/video/393vmWY9SB4/v-deo.html Thank you for mentioning us! I'm very proud to have been in beautiful Batanes Islands 2 years ago! Although the distance of Orchid Island (=Lanyu) and Batanes is only 130km away. But because of the border, we need to spend 2 or 3 days for the trip to reach. Btw I'm excited now because of two Batanes people arriving at Orchid Island tomorrow.
@George Nathanael If Han Chinese mix with Khmer people it would have been more awesome. Two great cultures and civilization combine to one!
@@supremekhmer6596 I always thought Vietnamese people are a mixture of Han Chinese and Mon-Khmer. We can see that Vietnamese language is similar to Mon-khmer which belong to the same language family which is austroasiatic while Vietnamese culture is the same as Han Chinese.
@Jacky Phantom Yes, the Japanese also. I think they are a mix between northeast asian like ancient korean and native jomon which looks southern.

Taiwans natives really resemble native americans in some ways.
Kuality Studios where?
EK well, their clothes are pretty similar. They wear headdresses made out of feathers, and their clothes have designs similar to the native americans. They also make wooden totem poles that resemble those in the Pacific Coast of Canada. Their architecture is similar too. Its amazing how similar taiwanese natives are to american natives.
Kuality Studios no . It's not . So many Austronesian tribes make headresses. That does not mean they resemble native Americans. I can't think of one native tribe who resembles them and I've read a lot about native American tribes .
Kuality Studios AND you are talking about plains indians and those were for nobels, not any random tribesman
Yes that's a good observation. Based on my research Native Americans also came from the Pacific.
there is a movie about them called "warriors of the rainbow, seediq bale" I recommend it

@崴哥 yea I forgot to mention "Native" before the Taiwanese
There isn't just one monolithic Indonesian culture. From what I can tell, there are at least dozens of ethnic groups native to Indonesia, each undoubtably with their own culture.
@@gringo3002 true but all of indonesian and filipino culture are austronesian
Minor error, the Dutch imported Ming Chinese to work for them in Taiwan, not Qing Chinese. There were several revolts by the Ming Chinese workers, and subsequently, when Ming China was folding under the pressure of the invading Manchus, Koxinga, a "Ming loyalist", sacked Zeelandia and drove the Dutch out of Southern Taiwan with the Ming Chinese workers serving as guides.
That is when the Dutch tried several times to team up with Qing China to defeat Koxinga, but eventually gave up Taiwan for good.

Interesting how the Taiwanese women have face tattoos like the Ainu. Not so much in style.. but in placement. And their textiles reminded me of the Ainu too.
Mandy M they are Taiwanese, but you sure don't know shit about anything...
the Ainu are believed to be a descendants of the group who splitted from the proto-austronesians in southern china or in taiwan. these austronesians might be the ancestors of some japanese and korean
zhan_rand Believed by whom? Can you guys present your sources when making such claims?
the Ainu are also believed to be descended thru Proto-Siberians when they migrate thru Korean Peninsula or thru Sea of Japan to Hokkaido.
Both mine & what u believed r only theories unproved by lack of hard evidence
tien ha do you know what the word “theory” means in scientific language? If you don’t know this, then you are unqualified to discuss any scientific subject.
Besides, why are you even assuming that there is no hard evidence? In fact there is. In the last 5 years the genes of modern Ainu and ancient Jomon samples have been amply studied, and we can now determine their origin with far more accuracy than the old physical anthropological and archaeological analysis that were done in the past. The Ainu are an admixed population stemming from both Jomon and ancient Siberian.
Do you want me to present the sources?

Thank you for making such a video more people will know about this! Im Atayal tribe from Taiwan.
Could you do a video about the Normans?
So in fact Taiwan is originally NOT part of China.
In a diplomatic sense it never was, by the context coming from migration, you can never say one country came from another country, one people group never just made this "country" (Which country is just an arbitrary concept in this context) have this people group, so We can't just say Taiwan wasn't originally part of China or was because that's a diplomatic or political topic and is not covered by Migration and geography in a sense.
Still Pro Taiwan Independent movement is founded by Han Chinese, not by Aboriginal Taiwanese. And Independent Taiwan will be still Sinocentric country with Mandarin as official language. So, independent Taiwan will never be an Austronesian country for Taiwanese Aborigins, and never adapt Aboriginal language as its official language.
No.

One of the saddest and silent genocides in human history... Han colonized the land of the Formosan Aborgines and pushed their culture and languages to the edge.
On the contrary, the Chinese only populated the plains and the Qing dynasty banned anyone from crossing the borders into Aboriginal territory in the East. It was after the Japanese colonized the entirety of Taiwan that the Aboriginals were prosecuted heavily. Post-war KMT government prosecuted everyone including the local Han population and forced everyone to speak Mandarin. You don't know what you're talking about dude. The Han in Taiwan respect aboriginals very much and we take pride in having some aboriginal blood in us and see them as brothers and sisters and hold them in high regard in our society.
Sure, there are still historical wrongs that must be corrected and they are disenfranchised from a lot of things due to demographic and cultural reasons, but Taiwanese aboriginals have way better treatment than those seen in other Western societies. so...STFU.
No. The saddest genocides include that of indigenous native Americans, Siberians, alaskans , Australian/tasmanian aboriginals, guanche people, etc and a single race is responsible
they may be minority in Taiwan but their descendants in SOutheast Asia, Pacific island nations and Madagascar are dominant
Richard Chen You don't have the right to tell me to SHUT UP. Your way of responding only shows how messy you analyze and synthesize any information that goes to your head.
Just the very fact that the Han migrated en masse to Taiwan is a way of dominating and culturally erasing the existence of the Formosan aborigines. This happened way before the Japanese occulation of not just Taiwan but also the rest of Asia-Pacific.
Thank you so much for this video, I've found out more about my country's identity and my own personal identity. Ps so sad that many data maps colour Taiwan as gray because they have "No Data" on it really gives me a lack of information about the country that I know so little about yet my ancestry lies within that island.
Been to a local aboriginal museum in Taiwan 2 years ago, was amazed by their culture and history, and learned that they are actually quite linguistically diverse rather to be a single ethnic group, and enhanced my knowledge of Austronesian peoples.

Im Filipino and they are my people's ancestors
I'm just hoping their culture in Taiwan didn't die because of massive Han Chinese immigration from the mainland.
Based on what I've learnt at school, why Taiwan is considered as the starting point of the austronesian migration is because when looking at it from a historical linguistics perspective, the languages spoken there appear to be typologically archaic in terms its lexical inventory and phonology, and also their grammatical structure. Speaking of grammatical structure, the austro-malayo languages had adopted the SVO structure due to the effect of language contact with germanic and romance language speakers (traders and colonialists ).
Where are you from?
Can you explain that in English please

The very existence and the history of Taiwanese Aborigines factually prove Taiwan's right to self-determination and independence. Taiwan has always been the homeland of the Aborigines. Taiwan is not China, never has truly been, never will be. The Han Chinese may have formed the skin and flesh of Taiwan, but the Aborigines are the original soul of Taiwan. Nothing should be more important to Taiwan than preserving the heritage of the Aborigines.
Yes, I hope asean will defend Taiwan too. Due too it's unique cultural significance to south east Asian countries
Then why is the hokkien still occpying taiwan?
I fear Taiwan may be the next Ukraine. Everything is at the most tense moment for the PRC to invade, and they have been building up their naval armadas in preparation for the inevitable war.
@@stevenl8591 For better or worse, they are already part of Taiwan. The only thing that matters is that Taiwan has a cultural/spiritual/historical for Island Southeast Asians. Austronesians should defend it from China who is known for their bad treatment of minorities and their enforced sinicization. And also from Hokkien policies that are anti-aboriginal if ever there's one.
Unfortunately, Austronesians can't get their sht together to even matter.
so should we deport all the chinese descendat there? u know current majority of taiwanese goverment were chinese descent
Thanks for putting this very informative yet concise video together. It's wonderful for those who speak English to be able to understand the role of indigenous Taiwanese people in shaping an expansive region of the world. Since a majority of indigenous Taiwanese speak Mandarin as a first language and are rarely fluent in English, it's difficult for them to directly transmit their stories to the world.
I've lived in Taiwan for two years and have interacted with several of the Formosan tribes, particularly in the south. I also worked in the Philippines for several years, and it's amazing to see some of the cultural/linguistic connections between these two regions.
I would only add two things: The largest tribe in Taiwan (Amis) is pronounced "ah-meece." Secondly, there are some photos of the badjao people and their stilt houses and unique fishing style. Although many of them are Muslim, they are probably distantly related to indigenous Taiwanese. Although I haven't encountered them in Taiwan (the current government surely wouldn't tolerate their off-the-grid lifestyle) there are many badjao communities in the central and southern regions of the Philippines.
Keep up the great work. Taiwan's borders are fully reopened. Please come and see the diversity of these people firsthand.

I am skeptical of “theories” suggesting that Taiwanese aboriginals who formed the basis of the Austronesian peoples originated in China. When the migration out of Africa that came to become the first people of Taiwan by Austronesian boat I find it more likely that they were a seafaring people than a nomadic terrestrial Chinese group. But, that’s the claim of the Communist government. The Austronesian group who came to rule Hawaii developed their culture on the big island of Hawaii and I can see a large population of Austronesian people on the large island of Formosa spreading out from Formosa as their population became dense even making landfall in China as they spread out. But, the People’s Republic of China’s claim that the Austronesian people came from landlocked Chinese people seems ridiculous.
When Japanese left Taiwan, it did NOT "returned" to China! Taiwan doesn't belong to China! Our situation is FAR DIFFER than what it was in Hong-Kong. Im from Taiwan, and we do not call ourselves Chinese.
All the Han peopel should go back to the place you came from. Go back to Mainland China. Formosa belongs to Taiwan Aborigin
@@itshry Americans, Canadians, Central and South Americans, Australians, New Zealanders should all go back to Europe then.
@@metakatana at least Canadian, Australian, North and South American etc, they never say they speak Canadian, American, New Zealand.... but you see what happen in Taiwan.... The Taiwan languageis not aborigin languange. They ignore the feeling of Aborigin...
@@itshry Taiwan president apologied to them in 2016..yes,,It's thier land..Not Belong to china or han chinese..They just took it from them..And now china want it very dad now,,
Harmot you’re fortunate that Han didn’t genocide all taiwanese natives instead they treat them equally.
Why native taiwanese defferent look of most filipino ,? because native taiwanese already have mixed bood with han chinese..... ethnic group indonesia like dayaks,bidayuh,javanese,sundas , sumatera is very close because we have same descent
Actually native taiwanese is ancestors of micronesian,filipinos, polynesian,haawai,native new zealand etc.
Tiana Nanae no!! Indonesian look indian haahhahaha 😂
Suga V lol only person stupid no indonesian look more east asian than indian ,you flipino look black ..

Some of their art and architecture looks very "Native American".

Final BOWSS no it doesn't. It looks very Austronesian. You're not familiar to native Americans
EK he said it LOOKS LIKE....as in similarities, and it actually does look similar to Pacific NW art. You're not familiar with anything of note are you?
There were seafaring people on both sides of the Pacific and the distances between the islands linking northwest North America with northeast Asia are not so far. It is not unlikely that there were cultural exchanges in the fifteen thousand years since the first migrations across the Bering land bridge. Similar designs and patterns are seen throughout the Pacific.
I'm so happy I found this video, loving the comment section lol i found my people
You should do a video on how the mongol invasions shaped the modern peoples of asia/ europe/ the middle east today.
It's interesting that the Taiwanese Aborigines did not settle or inhabit the Australian mainland, but instead mainly settled largely uninhabited islands, perhaps the existing Australian Aborigines were too hostile to any outsiders, so Taiwanese Aborigines could not establish any settlements...
It seems that they also didn't settle in most part of the island of New Guinea, they only settled in the coastal area
Austronesians in the Philippines were the ones who burned the villages and attacked the negrito native inhabitants. It wasn't widespread, but it did happen. Take a look at the Austronesians (Maori) and the black residents of Australia. There weren't any wars between the two, but presumably did trade instead. The British prisoners came over and fucked up the native Australians and New Zealanders.
Maoris do have stories of blond/red haired people being subjugated and cannibalized or absorbed in their society. They sound Melanesian but I'm not discrediting the existence of these "Waka blondes" ancient white people from Persia.
And no, even in Malaysia and Indonesia the melanesians are subjugated. It was worst in the mainland southeast asia.
There are ancient stories about "black short men/little black people" among Taiwan aboriginals past on generation by generation.
This fits "negrito" description, so some suspect that negrito did exist in Taiwan, but went extinct because of the new comers of Austronesians.
@BrownyDownySydrome They are Austronesians, their languages are related. You are not Native Americans. You don't even have white skin. Your brown skin indicates you're a descendants of Southeast asians
I still cant fucking believe madagaskarians came from SEasia.

I watched all your videos and all of them werry educated.
MING, not the Qing dynasty like you said in the video before Koxinga entered the scene with his short-lived kingdom (loyal to MING), which was ended by Qing forces. And for the record, the Qing court had a ban on Han immigration to the island until it was apparent that foreign powers were trying to take Taiwan (This was true for Manchuria as well, Han were forbidden there until the Qing reversed this to prevent foreign take-over). Northern Taiwan did not see an influx of Han Chinese until Tea, sulfur and camphor was cultivated or extracted in the north, prompting the government to move the prefecture's capital to Taipei from southern Taiwan, and later made it into a province.
Also, Vietnamese still make up the majority of new "immigrants" to Taiwan since they are culturally more similar the Han, as most of these immigrants are foreign spouses.
Austronesian is non-sinitic (not a Chinese people) learn in Liangzhu Culture were last back in 2250 BC thier Ancient Civilization
Dear Masaman, if you searced about Sarawak aboriginals (located in east Malaysia) you will see the strikingly similarities between the Taiwanese aboriginal if not almost identical,.. the difference with their Malay counterpart before medernisation is that Malay live in coasts and involve in trade while the Sarawakians live in the forests and river
Benjamin Chase ...and of course in Sabah as well. The indigenious peoples of the northern part of Borneo are also Austronesians.
Look at all indigenous Filipino people. Pretty much linguistically and culturally similar to Taiwanese aborigines than to Malays.
The very pure Austronesian in southeast asia who has 100% DNA of taiwanese aborigin is people of Mentawai in west of Sumatra island.
Are you talking about Dayaks?

I'm a Filipino with strong Austronesian genes in my DNA. I wonder how the Austronesian sailors associated with the natives of Australia and New Guinea. Or if they got along well.
Hi, I am also Filipino but from the tribes of the Cordilleras. There was a story told by a Samoan who visited here some years ago. He relates that Samoans have resentments toward the settlers of the Philippines. Because when their forefathers who came from the same country (Taiwan) tried to land here in this country, the first settlers did not allow them and told them to go find other islands. So, the progenitors of the Samoans continued to sail until they reached their island. So it seems that way back, they had bad relationships because of selfishness.
@@juliusangawa802 Thank you for sharing this. It's as if Austronesian mariners were like the equivalent to Vikings in Scandinavia.
@@juliusangawa802 On the plus side, the Samoans got bigger and stronger from their long journey. The negative side is that their tiny island cannot support a huge population and is isolated.
There was no contact between Australian aboriginals and Austronesians however there was between the Melanesians. Some speak Austronesian Languages such as the Fijians and even intermixed although they have the smallest amount of Austronesian DNA and are closer to Australian aboriginals genetically.
I hope one day Austronesian will be united thru inter-island visiting or thru tourism or cultural celebration that will be held in one island next to another and so on,,, thru maybe yearly special cultural activities bonding,, I hope that day will come soonest 🥰🥰🥰🥰🇵🇭

Thank you for making this video! I am taiwanese and I was adopted by a dutch family. I’m not that familiar with all aspects of the taiwanese culture, so this video helped me learn and understand more about my roots and the country I was born in!
wasnt taiwan was just the oldest surviving pathway of old austronesian migrations that still has austronesians. southeastern china around where fujian is now when it was in the period when the kingdom of minyue still existed had cultures that used to have customs same as the taiwanese aborigines so even before taiwan, austronesians probably came from the southern coasts of china who even before that probably migrated from southwestern china around yunnan province and northern vietnam. probably any sort of proto austronesians that came from the south of china got pushed out to migrate southwards or got sinicized to the present day southern chinese populations after being conquered by the expanding han dynasty vassals
That's a very good point. However, I've met with some linguistic experts who have seriously studied aboriginal Formosan dialects, and they seemed pretty certain that Taiwan was the source of the peoples who set out and spread themselves across Southeast Asia and Polynesia. But, they could be wrong: I'm not in a position to evaluate how certain they were, and your proposition sounds very plausible.
perhaps i guess there is the question that they are certain to answer that where did the austronesians of southeast asia, polynesia, etc more recently came from is that they came from taiwan. but then where did the taiwanese austronesians initially themselves come from. homo sapien humans did not exclusively evolve and pop out just anywhere in the globe independently of each other so i would think, the taiwanese aborigines didnt just pop out of taiwan so i guess they had to migrate there from much older pathways of migrations just like all other human groups who long ago came out of africa and diverged their separate ways. i guess the next plausible pathway before them starting their island hopping to taiwan and to all other islands around southeast asia, madagascar, and the pacific was probably when they were still protoaustronesians moving on the continent around the south and eastern coasts of china where i think i did see some wikipedia articles mentioning old cultures dug up around the coasts of china with stilted sea side houses just like austronesians. it seems when austronesians were living as continental folk by the coasts, they were already pretty good and adept at maritime life that they soon crossed and colonized all these many islands and archipelagos around the region as a strong sea faring culture.
