We are talking about a people that for 400 years have been told by different colonizers that the languages they grew up with are inferior and had to hide their identity by losing their native tounges and cultures just to survive. There are very few people that actually have a connection with Mandarin like that of many British people have with English or Japanese people with Japanese. There is no pride in the linguistic hisotry with Mandarin, Taigi, Hakka, or even any of the Aboriginal languages. At this point the only purpose language serves in Taiwan is to gain social prestige and academic/career advancement. Any language that doesn’t provide these benefits is unimportant, and a waste of time. That’s exactly how the local’s attitude to English developed.

“Weak wash”
