Comments on speakers
"[I]n 2006, inhabitants of Hanhsi village petitioned and succeeded in getting Yilan Creole on the test. As a result, their language variety was named Hanhsi Atayal and classified as a dialect of the Atayal language. But due to strong opposition from people who speak traditional Atayal, the government has decided to exclude Hanhsi Atayal starting in 2011." (p.351)
