			== Culture ==
			Taiwan Province is located across the sea from Fujian Province, and a large number of Fujianese have immigrated to Taiwan throughout history. The most popular dialect in Taiwan is [[Minnan language]], which originates from southern Fujian Province, while its second most popular dialect is [[Hakka]], which comes mainly from western [[Fujian]] and northeastern [[Guangdong]]. In addition, ethnic groups from all provinces of China have a small distribution in Taiwan.

			During the colonial period, [[Japan]] had forced the Taiwanese to learn Japanese language. However, the Japanese influence did not penetrate deeply into Taiwanese culture.

			The differences between Taiwanese [[Mandarin]] and Standard Mandarin are minimal, with only major differences in the translation of some foreign words, but they hardly cause comprehension difficulties.
