Tao people are similar to the Ivatan people in the northern Philippines. in fact both languages are mutually intelligible and culturally and ethnically related directly. I hope more Taiwanese docs can explore the similarities shared between Taiwan's indigenous peoples and ourselves, the people of the Philippines. We are the closest relations to them from among all Austronesian peoples.

[@derbdep]

@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 that's partially correct. Aetas today are also mixed with Austronesians. So actually they are a mixed people in the modern day, along with Mamanwa, Dumagat and Ati. Most share some facial features with Austronesian Filipinos, whereas their historic relatives in the Andaman Islands look completely different because they didn't intermix with other groups. Check genetic studies done online for Philippine Negrito groups, you'll find that they were mixing as far back as when the Spanish arrived. A similar comparison can be made between people in Timor and Maluku (mixed Papuan and Austronesian people who speak Austronesian languages) vs Papuan people in the highlands of Papua New Guinea who didn't mix.

Indigenous Formosan people aren't the majority in Taiwan today. It's the Han Taiwanese whose ancestors migrated from China from dynasty to modern era.

I have talked to a few Taiwanese and asked them if they want to learn the native Formosan language. They said no and want to remain speaking Mandarin and Hokkien.

[@avid580]

Migration of people come in different waves (times) and from different directions. In Taiwan, 5000 years ago there were people living there and 500 years later another group could have arrived from mainland China, Japan, or Vietnam. Then a hundred years later, there could have been a reverse migration which could have started another migration to Oceania. Migration patterns are never one way; it is very dynamic going in all different directions over thousands of years.

[@JaakJacobus]

True but the migration towards empty land was stronger (and safer). Going back you would bump into the people living there. War or mixing would make the footprint smaller. The ice age made the jump to the next islands smaller. That's why the last islands in the Pacific only got inhabited in the last 1000-2000 years. Many groups will have died going further because they never found a new island. Also if the group was too small, they could have died out due to an extreme small gene pool.

they rely on out of sundaland theory which is another theory of homeland origin of austronesians, taiwan being the considered original homeland of austronesian is not 100% confirmed, by type of topography the island of borneo is the perfect original homeland of austronesia rather than taiwan because this island is located so close to mainland china

[@Do2mifasol-nh3lq]

Yes, Sundaland theory is more logic than Taiwan theory.

[@AngryKittens]

@@MTC008 Southern China was not Chinese territory in the stone age. It was the homelands of multiple Southeast Asian peoples before they were driven out by the expansion of the Han Dynasty starting at around 2000 BC. Borneo was NOT Austronesian territory in the early stone age. It was most definitely NOT Austronesian when the sea levels were lower in the last ice age (c. 12000 BC +) and it was still the Sundaland peninsula. It was peopled by the Negrito and Orang Asli peoples, cousins of the Papuan and Aboriginal Australians, who are NOT Austronesians. ALL of the prehistoric remains of humans before at least 1500 BC in Indonesia and Malaysia are NOT Austronesians. I'm really tired of Indonesians and Malaysians who seem to think just because they're the largest countries now with Austronesian-speakers, that they are automatically the origin. Your languages aren't even completely Austronesian anymore. You've lost the Austronesian alignment, and lost the complex grammar of the ancestral Austronesian languages. Even more so your genetics, you're not even pure Austronesians anymore. Western Indonesians and Peninsular Malaysians (as well as the Chams) are almost 50% Austroasiatic (Mon-Khmer), due to intermarriage of incoming Austronesian settlers with preexisting Austroasiatic tribes in mainland Southeast Asia. It's like if Americans claimed that European people originated from the Americas, because America is a "perfect homeland" and have more population. LOL

[@AngryKittens]

@@Do2mifasol-nh3lq Let me put it this way: Austronesians have specific technologies they carried with them when they sailed across the seas: paddy rice-farming, sophisticated ships and sails (including outriggers), pottery, bark-cloth, chickens, wood-shaping adzes, houses built on stilts, millet, water buffalo, etc. NONE of these existed in Borneo or Peninsular Malaysia before 1500 BC. They were clearly carried by Austronesians when they arrived from SOMEWHERE ELSE. In contrast, all of these cultural markers are found in Taiwan and the Philippines (as well as parts of southeastern China) since at least 2200 BC and older.

big ship existed alr during Solomon Era... I suggest to you read about Solomon's Gold Temple on Bible.. it was suspected the origin of gold used to build gold temple came from the Philippines.. that's why Filipino language have loan words from Hebrew language.

Quite true. Those who mock this theory must be greatly misinformed and whitewashed. The Spanish archives have the exact location of Ophir which lead to the discovery of the Philippine archipelago.

sana ikaw nalang nagresearch and nagpresent, ophir on the other hand have so many candidate countries. Theory pa rin yan sinasabi mo about ophir kasi kahit sa bible walang direct meaning or phrase kung saang east part of the word ang ophir. Iba yung pinapaliwanag dito sa video na to sa gusto mong iparating common sense. Magkaibang topic yan kaya hinay hinay ka lang.

​​​@@baldeagledelta3482Philippines existed way before solomon era, and you're the one who's misinformed. Science doesn't rely on biblical claims, when they make claims they also provide proofs such as genetics, archeology and linguistics.

In Filipino yes, but in Tagalog it's Bituan which is now Bituin or Bitwin.

[@AngryKittens]

It isn't related. Tatala or Tatara in Tao is not a cognate of "star". It's a type of boat. The equivalent in Philippine languages is the "Tataya" of the Batanese islands, which is also a small boat.

Kankanaey star is tala from northern Philippines ❤
