The Republic of Taiwan (also known as Taiwan), unlike the People's Republic of China (commonly known as China), uses Traditional Chinese characters, not Simplified Characters. However, Taiwanese is not traditional characters. Taiwanese is another name for a language called "Hokkien" that is a dialect of Chinese. Hokkien is spoken in Taiwan, parts of China (primarily Fujian) and in other small communities of Chinese around the world (for example, you can sometimes find Hokkien speakers in American Chinatowns because they or their ancestors emigrated from Taiwan or Fujian). Some words are pronounced very similarly in Taiwanese/Hokkien as they are in Mandarin (the most common dialect of Chinese, which is commonly known in the West simply as Chinese), but most are pronounced very differently, and someone who only spoke Mandarin and someone who only spoke Hokkien would probably not be able to communicate with each other very well.
