Description

Why do many people mistake the Matsu language for Hakka? Matsu teacher and YouTuber Eva Tsao (曹辰瑩) explores what makes this lesser known national language of Taiwan so distinct — and unfamiliar, even to Taiwanese ears.

She also shares how the language connects her to the past, why it varies across the islands, and the one must-know phrase every visitor should learn before stepping foot on Matsu.
