Puzzled by Taigi’s Nasal Sounds? Just Imagine You Have a Cold! (ft. Lîm Sim-An) | #InTaiwanWeSpeak

Did you know that in Taigi, some words must be pronounced through the nose? This subtle nuance differentiates words like soa (sand) from soaⁿ (mountain). Nasal vowels are just one of the fascinating aspects our guest Lîm Sim-An shares about his language. He also challenges the preconception that Taigi is a ‘backward language’, showing us how it can be modern, fashionable, and even cute—introducing to us some adorable words you might use in conversation with Taiwanese speakers. Don’t miss the second half of our interview with Lîm Sim-An, app developer and creator of the Taro Taiwanese Dictionary.
