Mandarin is the official language in Taiwan, but kids in Taiwan don't just speak Mandarin.
According to the data from Kids in Taiwan: National Longitudinal Study of Child Development & Care, only about 15.7% of children do not speak any local languages.
Among all respondents, Taiwanese Hokkien is the most commonly spoken (77.96%), followed by Hakka (7.94%) and Formosan languages (1.98%), with substantial differences in their proportions.
Only a small portion of children speak more than one local language. Among them, the most common combination is Taiwanese Hokkien and Hakka, spoken by about 2.86% of children.
