Not to be confused with category: Wiki Taiwanese

Category: Taiwanese — this category here on WikiIndex is for wiki sites whose subject matter is, or discusses the Taiwanese language.

See also category: Multilingual – for those wiki sites with a subject matter of more than one language.

For those wiki sites whose contents are written in their actual language (ie, not English), they should go into their relevant Wiki language sub-category instead. In this instance, wiki sites with contents written in Taiwanese should be included in category: Wiki Taiwanese instead. See also category: Wiki Multilingual, for those wiki sites written in more than one language.

'Taiwanese', native to Taiwan, can refer to two distinct forms of spoken language, along with writing using Traditional Chinese characters.

Note: some wiki sites use the sub-domain zh-tw to identify a Taiwanese-language wiki site.
