The award is one of the most prestigious honours for heritage language literature in Taiwan.</p> <p>Taiwan is a diverse and multilingual country, with people speaking a range of Austronesian and Sino-Tibetan languages. In the last 400 years, several waves of Han emigrations brought different Sinitic languages into Taiwan including Taiwanese Hokkien/Tâigí, Hakka, and Mandarin, which have become the major languages spoken in present-day Taiwan.</p>
