Hoklo Taiwanese orHolo people (Chinese:河洛人/鶴老人/福佬人;Pe̍h-ōe-jī:Ho̍h-ló-lâng)[4] are a majorethnic group in Taiwan whose ancestry is wholly or partiallyHoklo, withHokkien as their native language. Being Taiwanese ofHan origin, their mother tongue is Taiwanese (Tâi-oân-ōe orTâi-gí), also known asTaiwanese Hokkien. AfterWorld War II and theRetrocession of Taiwan, most Hoklo Taiwanese also became fluent inTaiwanese Mandarin as a result of theRepublic of China (ROC) national language policy.
The majority trace their roots to the Hoklo communities of modernQuanzhou andZhangzhou inSouthern Fujian,China, whose ancestors migrated to Taiwan from the17th century beginning with early movements encouraged underDutch colonial rule. In common usage, a Hoklo Taiwanese identity refers to those whose families settled on the island before the mid twentieth century, a group also described asbenshengren when considered together with other early Chinese settlers. Even so, most Hoklo Taiwanese simply identify themselves asTaiwanese.
