Abstract
This thesis aims to accomplish three main goals: 1) present a historical-political background to preface and explain the presence of various languages (dialects) in Taiwan, 2) examine language contact and language change in Taiwan as a result of political colonization, specifically the promotion of Japanese, Mandarin, and Taiwanese, respectively; 3) conclude by speculating about the direction of language development in Taiwan.
