The Lunar New Year is approaching. TITV Weekly invited Austronesian friends and families in Taiwan to share their cultures with the indigenous people in Taiwan in a special New Year program, Austronesian, Welcome Home. For the Austronesian students, it was a memorable experience to share their own culture with other Austronesian people.
@TrueAltaic although the Austronesians that migrated south and to the islands that mixed with the blacks... GTFO of Taiwan. Disgusting

@gorrillamosh- people shouldn't use physical traits to suggest who's austronesian and who's not. Melanesians (negroid) & Malays (mongoloid) share a common ancestor. Some austronesians are in between these two, somehow a split happened a long time ago nobody knew when. Some researchers suggest that the biblical story of the brothers Cane & Abel originates in S.E. Asia, & has something to do with these two groups of people. They're called Kulabob & Manup, unlike the bible nobody died in the story.

Taiwan is not really the Austronesian homeland. This language is so diverse and very old, natives of Taiwan even say that they come from the south. A common misconception is that the aetas ( negritos of the Philippines) learned this language from Taiwanese migrants. But aetas are very isolated people they did not adopt other cultures except theirs. How did they learn this language ? What was their language before (no record) ? or maybe they were Austronesians since time immemorial.
