Taiwan overview
Taiwan is in Eastern Asia, Asia. Its capital is Taipei.
Taiwan has no land border, either in Natural Earth's boundary data or in the Travle map, so no route in the game can start or end there.
Population, density and language
The World Bank publishes no population figure for Taiwan, so this page does not show one.
| Language | Share (est.) | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional Chinese | 95% | official |
| Min Nan Chinese | 57% | official |
| Hakka Chinese | 11% | official |
| Taroko | 0.02% | — |
CLDR shares are estimates of people who use each language, so they can add up to more than 100%.
How big is Taiwan, really?
The World Bank publishes no surface area figure for Taiwan, so this page does not compare its size.
