Hokkien dialect
Under this historic distinction, "native Taiwanese" refers to the Hoklo people who immigrated to Taiwan before 1945 and speakers of Taiwanese Hokkien dialect, including Hakka and Plains indigenous peoples who have assimilated into Taiwanese Hoklo culture and language. Some Hoklo Taiwanese incorrectly use the term to exclusively refer to Taiwanese of Hoklo culture who resided on the island before 1945.
