Hoklo Taiwanese (Chinese: 閩南裔臺灣人), also called Holo people (Chinese: 河洛人/鶴老人/福佬人; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Ho̍h-ló-lâng)[4] or Taywan people (臺灣人; Tâi-oân-lâng)[5] are a major ethnic group in Taiwan whose ancestry is wholly or partially Hoklo. Being Taiwanese of Han origin, their mother tongue is Taiwanese (Tâi-oân-ōe or Tâi-gí), also known as Taiwanese Hokkien. After World War II, most Hoklo Taiwanese are also fluent in Taiwanese Mandarin due to the Republic of China's national language policy. Most Taiwanese descend from the Hoklo people of Quanzhou or Zhangzhou in Southern Fujian, China. The term of a Hoklo Taiwanese identity, as commonly understood, signifies those whose ancestors immigrated to Taiwan before the mid-20th century. However, most Hoklo Taiwanese prefer to call themselves Taiwanese only.
