What percentage of people on the island of Taiwan speak the language of the indigenous people?
Wikipedia says 2.3% of the people living there are indigenous, but only 1.4% speak a Formosan language due to "language shift" - but the article leads with the info on how during 40 years of martial law under a US-backed regime, speaking their native language was heavily suppressed. It took until the 2000s for any sort of promotion of these languages.
