Re: Taiwanese should keep their language

Dear Claire,
 
Warm greetings from the Ministry of Education.
 
Your e-mail to the Prime Minister has been forwarded to 
this office for responses.

In order to conserve our national heritage, we are 
currently engaged in the teaching of Hokkien,Hakka as well 
as Aboriginese languages in Taiwan. However, as a result 
of globalization, we are also fully aware of the importance 
of English which is widely used around the world. 
 
As you may know, National language(s) is a complex issue 
both emotionally and politically.The people(s) living in 
this land will certainly learn how to handle it with tact 
and wisdom.

Thanks for your comments sent from Japan.
 
Best regards,

Jing-shing Huang
