this atayal tribe has similar languistic, face and culture as some of the tribe in Indonesia (Dayak)....and also in the philippines...i guess this does prove that some of the ancestor of the indonesian and philippines was come from taiwan.....
I remember I had to read L. Bloomfield and others at college, and you're more or less like a modern L. Bloomfield. You research work could be read in the future.
@filemonwu Yes, Atayal and Dayak are related, as they both belong to the Austronesian language family (which includes Malay, Hawaiian, Maori, Malagasy, Tagalog and many other languages of the Pacific and the islands of Southeast Asia.
@Codylangaugesblog See my video (Language families of the world), Atayal is an Austronesian language in a separate group from all other Austronesian languages. There are similarities to Hawaiian, but distant. Hawaiian and Samoan are in the Eastern Malayo-Polynesian>Remote Oceanic>Nuclear Polynesian group. Chinese is Sino-Tibetan, but Atayal has some loanwords from Japanese and Chinese.
Hey Mike, since you're basically doing fieldwork now, I was wondering if you'd ever read 'Searching for aboriginal languages' by R. M. W. (Bob) Dixon, which is a riveting memoir of his experiences doing linguistic fieldwork with aboriginal people in Queensland, Australia. If you haven't read it already, I think you might find it interesting.
Does it in any way related to Bornean languages (especially North Borneo)?

I don't understand a word of Atayal. However, the tones and syllables sound like a mix between Tagalog and Indonesian/Malay.

anyway, does anyone know whether there is a similarity between some ancient tribe in Taiwan with Dayak Tribe in Indonesia? I heard there's one.

that is very interesting. Atayal is more related to Samoan, Hawaiian than it is Chinese, correct?
