    		• Population

    Language
    Mandarin Chinese is the official language of Taiwan and is used by the media and taught in schools. However, more than 50% of the population speaks Taiwanese at home. The Hakka dialect, as well as 10 aboriginal languages can also be heard in Taiwan.

    Between 2 and 5 % of the population is Christian. The vast majority of people in Taiwan practice a blend of Buddhism and Taoism, with Confusion influence.
