Austronesian Language Introduction - Hla'alua (Saaroa) Tribe - Taiwan

During the 2020 National Indigenous Speech Competition in Nantou County, Taiwan, we interviewed a student from the Hla'alua Tribe, who agreed to share a little of her native language. This language is also referred to as Saaroa. Taiwan has 16 indigenous Austronesian languages that are actually taught in public schools to indigenous students, and they hold language contests to reward and motivate students.
