- Who are the Taiwanese Aborigines and just how did they shape most of modern Southeast Asia as we know it today? Today, let's take a look at one of the more enigmatic peoples of Asia, who remained largely untouched by Western or Eastern society for generations, yet had contributed more than they could've ever imagined.
Please let me know your thoughts on the Taiwanese Aborigines and other Austronesians, thanks to Ekmal Sukarno for suggesting the video. I told I'd get to it eventually. Thanks for watching!
Apologies for the lack of videos the past week, I've been incredibly sick, but decided to record anyways.

I'm from Taiwan, Paiwan tribe. I’m living in Canada. I have a face that looks like lots different countries's people 😂 The Chinese in Taiwan think I am Filipino or I come from other countries. It's because of my brown skin. I have traveled to some countries.... Philippines, Thailand, Hawaii, Australia, they’re all think I'm the local of their country 😄 In any case, no one can guess where I really come from? Only my tribes people know where I am really from 😅👍🏽❤️ I am proud to be an indigenous, aboriginal or an native. I think the most impor things are indigenous peoples around the world must unite and supporting each tribe, defend and advance our rights 💪🏽 brothers and sisters, let us continue to fight back until our nation is great again🦾
Taiwanese Aborigines, Filipino, Indonesian, Malaysian, Polynesian are one people!
Long Live Austronesia!
Greetings from Philippines!👐🇵🇭
They mistaken me for Chinese or Korean because I have slanted eyes but I am 100% Filipino because my great grandmother is of Spanish descent, she is half Spanish and then my great grandfather is Muslim
my great grandfather his ancestors are from the tausug tribe because the tausug is original in malaysia
Chinese in Taiwan are Migrants from china
@@jessamaeontua8611 You aren’t a 100% if you said your great grandmother has Spanish blood
@@hallooos7585 citizenship isn't base on blood. If both of his parents are Filipino, he is Filipino regardless of what descendant he came from.
I'm an Austronesian speaker. My language is Marshallese. My clan is Mõkauleej. My country is the Marshall Islands. My region is Micronesia.
i guess masaman gets all the diverse audience now. interesting that even micronesians are viewing his vids. greetings from the philippines on the edge of the pacific
My mother tongue is Austronesian too. My first language is Tagalog and I was born in Manila, Philippines

My parents are Austronesians of Madagascar who, during the 60s, were told by Elders that we originated from the Island of Taiwan. As a result, my parents represented the Indian Ocean Island/Nation of Madagascar in Taipei. Result? I became the 1st Malagasy baby to be born back onto "The Island of the Ancestors"!!!! I'm extremely proud of it!! My parents and I went to visit our Ancestral Tribes in the mountains and, apparently the Locals wept and said: "Our Children are back" after my parents dressed in Traditional clothes.
Since the mid 1980s and, with indirect pressures from the ever-present French Neo-Colonials, Madagascar was no longer in its original POLITICAL status "the African Union & Madagascar" but just "moulded in"!
As much as World youth mixes positively into the Future, it is more often noticeable that there are ethnic mixed between African and Austronesian, (just like more mixed between Europeans and Afro-Carribeans in the UK, France and in the Western World!).
Nevertheless, the FOUNDING LANGUAGE and fundamental Traditions are that of the Austronesians, with all its ethno-tribal variants Madagascar contains. It is important to stress as well, that the revival and underscoring of Austronesian identity (the 3 main being Merina, Betsileo and, Vezo) are fast seen as "racism" by the rest of the population. As if it were forbiddent to BE ONESELF and BE PROUD of it! There is, apparently, a lot of stigma in Madagascar about discussing and turning heads towards the Reality: the EAST is were language, traditions, fundamental food base, Music, Oral tradition, Poetry, Respect and Worship of the Ancestors comes from: FACT.
I was "Made in Taiwan" and, most PROUD of it!😃
Don't forget Borneo though you guys spent a lot of time there, along with with Taiwan.
@@ANTSEMUT1 Very true indeed!! Centuries before there were any Indonesia/Malaysia/Singapore... before any Christianity or Islam arrivals
I don't know what you're talking about. Every malagasy ethnic group is austronesian but also african, those from the highlands just have more asian ancestry on average
i am happy for you my brother, fellow austronesian here from nothern part of the philippines (close to taiwan) living in the states.
That story is just so cool
I went to the southern part of Taiwan specifically in Kaohsiung and Pingtung in 2019 to celebrate the lantern festival and I noticed the huge similarities of Filipino tribes with the Taiwanese tribes. It was like I was sent back to the Philippines but I was in Taiwan. 😂
Austronesians did not came from Taiwan directly they all came from Southern China separately according to dna test results matter of fact the vast majority of ISEA populations are more related to Tai-Kadai people from Southern China than Taiwanese people.
@@oneviwatara9384 Yes, the Austronesieans originated in what is now known as South China but not sure where you got the rest of your information. The Tai-Kadai people have only a little (1-10%) DNA of Austronesiean whilst the areas of South Vietnam have the Native Cham Austronesieans and South Thailand have Malays. The whole region of Maritime SEA are all Austronesiean (Malay/Indo being Half Austronesiean/Austroasiatic, Filipinos being around 80-98% Austronesiean) and they are dominant in population numbers around 300+mil.
@@kikoyworld
All the dna test results on the Austronesian and Austro-Asiatic peoples are available on the internet for anyone to see if you really want to know the truth about them like for an example where did they came from or who are they related to, etc, I would suggesting you to spend at least 6 months on its once you did you'll know the truth what I'm talking about the so called Austronesian and Austro-Asiatic peoples was invented by white people the vast major of light skin Austronesian and Austro-Asiatic peoples theirs main Y-Chromosome belong to subgroups of O1a and O2 (Lao people origin), whereas the black and blown Austronesian and Austro-Asiatic people they're the natives peoples of MEAS and ISEA the Cham people some say they're ethnic related to South Indians people one thing for sure they're not ethnic to Austronesian or ethnic related to Austro-Asiatic peoples as you can tell by the color of theirs skin.
@@kikoyworld Eastern Indonesia is also Melanesian too with West Papua and Maluku,East Timor as well.Melanesian-Austronesian mixed,we have no Austro Asiatic ancestry at all out this way.
@@gpl992 Actually that is half true what you said. Yes eastern parts of Indonesia are Melanesian/Austronesian. However, western Indonesia and Malaysia are Austronesian/Austroasiatic or Austronesian/Tai-Kradai. The interesting part is some parts of Indo/Malay like Sabah, Minahasa and part of Kalimantan (Dayak areas) are all more closely related to Filipinos. In terms of DNA the ones with most "Austronesian" dna are Taiwan indigenous tribes, Filipinos, some parts of Malay (Sabah) and Indo (Minahasa and parts of Kalimantan) and oddly some parts of Polynesia.
I love Taiwan. I visited for a week. It is a spectacular place.
When I visited Taiwan, I remember seeing two friends walking down the street. One friend looked Chinese and the other looked SE Asian, I was surprised that I could tell the difference so easily, but it was there, one had a whole lot more Aboriginal blood than the other.
There is a fascinating museum about Aboriginal Taiwanese in Taipei. Interesting stuff.

Thank you so much Masaman, for making the video that I requested for so long.
Of course! Sorry about the sick voice in the video.
Masaman, you sounded completely normal. You didn't sound sick at all. By the way, can you also please make a video about the differences between Northern Han Chinese and Southern Han Chinese. Thanks.
+Leonard Carr Yeah, I'm not Indonesian, I'm actually Malaysian. That name Sukarno comes from my father who was given that name in honour of the Indonesian leader.
Ekmal Sukarno but most of Malaysian i met in comment section hate Sukarno hahaha
+PissMenn Yeah I know what you're talking about. However, my father was given the name Sukarno because he was born before Malaysia's independence in 1957.
Personally I feel the editing of your videos could use some work but you put excellent information into them and always choose a fascinating subject that I feel is worth the time. It's clear you put in a lot of work and I enjoy what you're doing, keep it up!
Around 7:01 - 7:02 - there is a message that flashes very fast. Says "this is what you will see before you die." Picture of Taiwanese aboriginal man throwing spear. Flashes so fast.
Excellent presentation Masaman. Always look forward to your videos.

Taiwan is a country.
Love from Australia 🇦🇺🇹🇼.
Taiwan is Formosa ("the beautiful island") / Taiwan is the "republic of China" / Taiwan is the nationalists' China / Taiwan is a naughty break-away province (in the eyes of the "people's republic of China") / Taiwan is claimed by mainland China / Taiwan claims all of mainland China / Taiwan is in a strategic location / Taiwan is in a precarious predicament / Taiwan is a flashpoint of potential conflict / Taiwan is doomed to lose its independence & democracy / Taiwan is...(all of the above?)

I love your videos, so good natured, fair and instructive. Thank you so much.
Just when I was researching Taiwanese myself. Although I knew most of what you said, it's nicely made video notheless. Good job!
fascinating, never knew that much about Taiwan. Nice vid.
Thanks for putting this very informative yet concise video together. It's wonderful for those who speak English to be able to understand the role of indigenous Taiwanese people in shaping an expansive region of the world. Since a majority of indigenous Taiwanese speak Mandarin as a first language and are rarely fluent in English, it's difficult for them to directly transmit their stories to the world.
I've lived in Taiwan for two years and have interacted with several of the Formosan tribes, particularly in the south. I also worked in the Philippines for several years, and it's amazing to see some of the cultural/linguistic connections between these two regions.
I would only add two things: The largest tribe in Taiwan (Amis) is pronounced "ah-meece." Secondly, there are some photos of the badjao people and their stilt houses and unique fishing style. Although many of them are Muslim, they are probably distantly related to indigenous Taiwanese. Although I haven't encountered them in Taiwan (the current government surely wouldn't tolerate their off-the-grid lifestyle) there are many badjao communities in the central and southern regions of the Philippines.
Keep up the great work. Taiwan's borders are fully reopened. Please come and see the diversity of these people firsthand.
Awesome 👍 job guys I appreciate all your support and video's keep up the great work

Thanks from Taiwan for an enlightening video!
I'm curious to know if any new studies have been done on the matter. The sciencedirect source was from 2014.
Here's to hoping that more is being done to research and preserve the diversity of languages on the planet.
I would like to point out a phrase from your video that "Taiwan was returned to China". The Island's been a contentious issue ever since Japan's defeat in WWII. And technically, Taiwan's been in a kind of political limbo on the international stage. We either exist as a country or a province depending on who you ask. Honestly, I'm just glad that the simple mention of Taiwan hasn't ignited controversy here.
I'd like to thank you for keeping politics out of your videos Masaman. And if you ever get interested in going down this particular rabbit hole, I'd be happy to supply sources. Taiwan is a complicated and messy story. Doesn't stop the island from being a fascinating mix of diverse cultures though =).
Nate C
Taiwan is a Free independent Nation
If you agreed to the ownership of Taiwan by Japan, then you shouldn't have a problem with Taiwan being "returned" to China(ROC).
If, however, you see any sort of "occupation" by outside forces like the Dutch, Spanish, Chinese or Japanese as illegal, then you can be mad about his usage of "return" to China.
You always come up with subjects that I didn't expect
very informative, great research!
Congratulations mason you achieved 125k subscribers you deserve all of them 👏👏👏👏
Thanks for sticking with me Elias!
Kind of strange that these Taiwanese aboriginals formed the basis of the Austronesian peoples, who have been confirmed genetically to have sailed as far east as the Americas. Just goes to show how much we don't know of our extraordinary world and the ability of our species to overcome the impossible.
Fun fact: South-East Asians discovered Madagascar before Africans.
Bit its in Africa tho how the he'll did my kind discover it first? Its like 10 kilometers away
Stay off that shit ok. Africa is thee cradle of human civilization. Let's not forget that!!!!!!

Masaman! I enjoy watching your videos because they teach us a lot about our common humanity. Have you talked about the Spaniards who are of North African Berber stock such the tennis player, Rafel Nadal? If not I suggest you do a video on that. I look forward to your response.
Masaman Another well-researched video, thanks!
Great video. I think it’s one of your best yet.
Thank you for making this video! I am taiwanese and I was adopted by a dutch family. I’m not that familiar with all aspects of the taiwanese culture, so this video helped me learn and understand more about my roots and the country I was born in!
I really respect Taiwan still keep dance culture all astrenosian people for remember n history never forget.. 😢 taiwan dance give us hint of history for astronesian. They want tell something that we as astronesian come from where before
Where are you from? Do you still practice your ancestors' custom today?

Thank you so much for this video, I've found out more about my country's identity and my own personal identity. Ps so sad that many data maps colour Taiwan as gray because they have "No Data" on it really gives me a lack of information about the country that I know so little about yet my ancestry lies within that island.
Great production as usual! 👍👍👍
The Tao tribe of Orchid Island (Yami) in Taiwan are more related to the Ivatan tribe of Batanes Islands in the Philippines. Their language is classified as Batanic which is sometimes considered a branch of the Philippine Language Family but sometimes considered one of the main branches of the Austronesian Language Family at par with Malayo-Polynesian and Formosan languages. The Tao tribe could have been the descendants of Batanic peoples back-migrating to Formosa who settled in Yami Isle.
There are 19th century Western accounts of regular sea-faring traffic between the aboriginal peoples of Taiwan and Orchid Island and the islands of the Philippines. This was back in the days when the Qing authorities still had no control over most of the East Coast of Taiwan south of Ilan and no Chinese had really touched Orchid Island. The Japanese and Western powers were interested in the behaviors of the East Coast Formosan indigenous peoples because of the perception (based on some actual experiences) that shipwrecked Japanese or Westerners were likely to be massacred by those aboriginal Formosans. So, the fact that some aboriginals had ocean-going craft and could navigate back and forth to the Philippines was of interest.
Hi! I'm Yami (=Tao) and you can see the photo in this film th-cam.com/video/393vmWY9SB4/w-d-xo.html Thank you for mentioning us! I'm very proud to have been in beautiful Batanes Islands 2 years ago! Although the distance of Orchid Island (=Lanyu) and Batanes is only 130km away. But because of the border, we need to spend 2 or 3 days for the trip to reach. Btw I'm excited now because of two Batanes people arriving at Orchid Island tomorrow.
@George Nathanael If Han Chinese mix with Khmer people it would have been more awesome. Two great cultures and civilization combine to one!
@@supremekhmer6596 I always thought Vietnamese people are a mixture of Han Chinese and Mon-Khmer. We can see that Vietnamese language is similar to Mon-khmer which belong to the same language family which is austroasiatic while Vietnamese culture is the same as Han Chinese.
@Jacky Phantom Yes, the Japanese also. I think they are a mix between northeast asian like ancient korean and native jomon which looks southern.
Could you do a video about the Normans?
your videos are really well done on a whole.... thanks
Hey, thanks for the video- demography is fascinating stuff! Aside from the sources included, is there any further reading you can recommend on this particular topic?
Visit Taiwan! There's museums and the villages all have some sort of cultural preservation program.
Though most Taiwanese like myself are adapted to Chinese culture, lot of us might been Austronesian people aka indigenous Taiwanese one point in the history. Sadly those histories weren't well documented enough by the Qing dynasty government back then. Despite every accessible documentations from both every regime led Taiwan and my own family points out I'm from Hokkien background. I can tell there's not only Hoklo, but some features of Philippines or indigenous Taiwanese on me and my father. For 200 undocumented years, Hoklos had converted a lot of indigenous Taiwanese to Chinese, cus for them it's either adopting a Chinese name and married to Hoklo prople, or get killed or expelled from their own tribes.

thank you for making this video
Thanks for the video great summary, maybe you may consider a video on the Polynesian connection and spread throughout the South Pacific.
Based on what I've learnt at school, why Taiwan is considered as the starting point of the austronesian migration is because when looking at it from a historical linguistics perspective, the languages spoken there appear to be typologically archaic in terms its lexical inventory and phonology, and also their grammatical structure. Speaking of grammatical structure, the austro-malayo languages had adopted the SVO structure due to the effect of language contact with germanic and romance language speakers (traders and colonialists ).
Where are you from?
Can you explain that in English please
I was comparing my genome data that refers to the ancient root-population groups w/ a NEA friend (myself being a 48+% Austronesian, 30% SEA, and the rest went to polynesian, melanesian and a small percentage of tungusic-altaic admix according to MDLP-k23b) with a surprising difference that he also has some austronesian and SEA percentages ranging from 10-30%, but it was exactly the higher percentage of the tungusic-altaic admixture that really distinguish the difference between the two groups genetically generally speaking.
Great video, thanks.
Love all your videos. Very educational.
Mason, will you do another video about Brazil?? The other one was deleted. It´s an interesting topic
masaman, do you know roughly the time austronesians from south east china before reaching taiwan ? ive been looking for this info but i cant find it
You should do a video on how the mongol invasions shaped the modern peoples of asia/ europe/ the middle east today.
Where was the village picture taken? The house, art and totem poles looked very similar to Haida art forms
A, superb production Masson. You came to Malaysia recently right? Perhaps we should get you back here to lecture further on our ancestry!!
Thanks, Masaman! This is part of my daughter's diverse ancestry, which stretches from Ireland to the Philippines, with stops in Normandy, Spain, Israel and China.
Sean Degidon
Israel?
Pink, Israel - but only Israel - surprises you? I'm half Jewish, with great-grandparents who emigrated from Romania and what's now Lithuania, respectively; but neither they nor their gentile neighbors considered them to be Romanian or Russian (which the city of Vilna was at the time). Israel was the distant (in both space and time) but more defining nation of origin for East European Jews who came to America in the 1890s.
@@seandegidon4672 I'm pretty sure the Ashkenazi Jews absorbed a lot of European blood into their gene pool. Otherwise, why do they ID as white?
@Candi Thanks! As I explained earlier in the thread, "neither they nor their gentile neighbors considered them to be Romanian or Russian." I have no problem with either country. In fact, my daughter recently expressed an interest in visiting Romania.
@Candi Is Samogitian the native word for Lithuanian, or a subgroup thereof? Certainly a fascinating legacy, the closest living language to Proto-Indo-European. (By that standard, you're the ultimate Europeans!) Still, for centuries until the ethnic cleansings circa World War 2, the countryside around Vilnius was mostly Belorussian, and the city was mostly Polish and Yiddish-speaking. That isn't a denial of Vilnius' place as Lithuania's capital, only recognition that as Lithuania rose from Pagan obscurity to a vast Christian kingdom, it consequently became more diverse. If a price, it was the price of success.
The atayal of Taiwan the maga of India and Igorot of Philippines and suluwesi of Indonesia and the rest of Pacific Islanders seems to be similar
I love my big family i m happy to found where my ancestors came
Love you bro
Another great video by masaman
mason please do something about the audio level of yours video. gotta turn it all the way up to hear it.
Could you make a video about Madagascar?
Been to a local aboriginal museum in Taiwan 2 years ago, was amazed by their culture and history, and learned that they are actually quite linguistically diverse rather to be a single ethnic group, and enhanced my knowledge of Austronesian peoples.
Mason, are you getting closer now to doing a vid on the Ainu?? 👍✌
Nice to learn something new. Thank you.
As I am also doing research on Taiwanese aborigines, the narrative here was actually only focusing on "Mountain aborigines" which refused to cooperate with the Qing government and finally being conquered by the Japanese colonial government.
Actually, there is also another category, "Plains aborigines," a group of tribes starting to cooperate with Dutch government, later the Qing government. "Plains aborigines" became the ally of the Qing government to fight against Chinese immigrants and "Mountain aborigines." To divide and rule such three groups, the Qing government even drew two "Aboriginal borders" in sequence to split Taiwan into three regions, and reallocated "Plain aborigines" into the central zone among the three regions.
Although "Plains aborigines" were less known in the public( mostly because they were treated as "Chinese" during the Japanese colonial areas,) they were actually the ones deeply exploited by the Chinese immigrants and the Qing empire. They were mobilized into warfares, and some even participated in repressing rebellions in mainland China, but the Qing government's compensations for these tribes' warfare --land rights in the central zone among three regions were not well executed and protected. For example, for Pangsoa tribes(崩山八社） in Maoli and Taichung, although the Qing government required them to police aboriginal borders, which took nearly all manpower of the tribes, the Qing government's land allotment in return was located 60kms to 100km farrwary from their tribes--so basically they did not really get any returns!
Many tribes of "Plains aborigines" collapsed in the late Qing era due to such kind of state extraction, so many of them only abandon their own cultures and become more like Chinese settlers, and that' why the Japanese colonial government treated them as the Chinese, instead of indigenous people. Until very recently, the offspring of these tribes started to ask their identity back.
Interesting how the Taiwanese women have face tattoos like the Ainu. Not so much in style.. but in placement. And their textiles reminded me of the Ainu too.
Mandy M they are Taiwanese, but you sure don't know shit about anything...
the Ainu are believed to be a descendants of the group who splitted from the proto-austronesians in southern china or in taiwan. these austronesians might be the ancestors of some japanese and korean
zhan_rand Believed by whom? Can you guys present your sources when making such claims?
the Ainu are also believed to be descended thru Proto-Siberians when they migrate thru Korean Peninsula or thru Sea of Japan to Hokkaido.
Both mine & what u believed r only theories unproved by lack of hard evidence
tien ha do you know what the word “theory” means in scientific language? If you don’t know this, then you are unqualified to discuss any scientific subject.
Besides, why are you even assuming that there is no hard evidence? In fact there is. In the last 5 years the genes of modern Ainu and ancient Jomon samples have been amply studied, and we can now determine their origin with far more accuracy than the old physical anthropological and archaeological analysis that were done in the past. The Ainu are an admixed population stemming from both Jomon and ancient Siberian.
Do you want me to present the sources?
I've been waiting
100% correct

6:26 so how did you have your first acid flashback?
"Oh it was how this image was weirdly rendered when moving across the screen on a youtube video."
lol!
Minor error, the Dutch imported Ming Chinese to work for them in Taiwan, not Qing Chinese. There were several revolts by the Ming Chinese workers, and subsequently, when Ming China was folding under the pressure of the invading Manchus, Koxinga, a "Ming loyalist", sacked Zeelandia and drove the Dutch out of Southern Taiwan with the Ming Chinese workers serving as guides.
That is when the Dutch tried several times to team up with Qing China to defeat Koxinga, but eventually gave up Taiwan for good.

Kuomintang are the original conquers of Taiwan island !!!
What about the ainu in Japan
ShAdOwMaN are they austronisants
They are not Austronesians, they are their own group. The surviving relative they have is the Andaman Islanders, and in a way, the Tibetans; according to this channel's other video.
the Ainu's ancestors, the Jomon people, came from the landbridge between the Asian mainland and the Japanese islands during the last ice age. They were not the same people as Austronesian.
They are probably Eurasian
they're the earliest split of austronesian perhaps

Native Americans migrated from east asia during ice age, that's what I've heard.
Just for the record, based on my visit to Taiwan back in '87, when I talked with some of the residents, Amis is pronounced ah-MEEZ (1 = ah-ME), not Amos.
The Philippines was a spring board of Aboriginal people of Formosa 5,000 years ago from Taiwan to Philippines, and to Indonesian islands and to Oceana.
dh you need to study history !!! We're came from taiwan not spaniard or negroid.
Suga V - this "dh" douche bag is just a troll Indonesian Chinese by the sound of it. He hates Philippines for some reason. maybe jealous, inferiority complex perhaps

You should do a video on Sicilians and Sardinians.

Being a Dayak from Borneo, I have a lot of native Tiawanese DNA in me
6:03 Interesting that you pronounced 鄭成功 in a somewhat Cantonese way
his name should be pronounced in Hokkien since his father was of Hoklo descent. In Hokkien it should be pronounced as "Tīⁿ Sêng-kong"
nice vid!
Holy shit. You actually mentioned the Taiwanese soldiers. I have actually been deeply interested in Taiwan after hearing the album “Takasago Army,” which is about Taiwanese Seediq who fought for the Empire and later against the ROC.
Did you watch the movie? Seediq Bale.
Richard Chen No, but I should. How is it?
Hi Austronesian. I’m Bidayuh speaking Dayak from Borneo.
