"Taiwan was colonized by Japan from 1895-1945. In order to completely control the indigenous people, the government's policy was to move residents from the heart of the mountains to the plains... As a consequence of emigration, Atayal and Sediq people from different villages were forced to live together and constitute new communities... The mutually unintelligible groups, Atayal and Sediq, needed a lingua franca for inter-group communication..." (p.353)

"[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)
