Yes, Taiwanese is a real language and it's full name is "Taiwanese Hokkien".

In Taiwan, the most commonly spoken language is Mandarin. However, Taiwanese Hokkien (commonly known as "Taiwanese"), is a variant of Hokkien spoken in Taiwan. Taiwanese is often seen as a Chinese dialect within a larger Chinese language. Although it may also be seen as a language in the Sino-Tibetan family.

What language do they speak in Taiwan?

Taiwanese and Chinese are the two most spoken languages in Taiwan.People in Taiwan mainly speak Mandarin Chinese. (It is the official language of Taiwan). There are also those that speak Taiwanse Hokkien (Or simply "Taiwanese"). There are also those that can speak Hakka because there are those of the Hakka subgroup that live in Taiwan and also there are aboriginal Taiwanese who speak their own dialects. Because of Japanese colonial rule, many of the older generation can speak fluent Japanese.The official language of the Republic of China (中華民國) is Standard Mandarin (國語).The recognised regional languages of the Republic of China (中華民國) include: Taiwanese Hokkien (Taiwan, Penghu and Kinmen), Hakka (Taiwan), several Taiwanese aboriginal languages, Fuzhunese (Matsu), and Puxian Min (Wuqiu).The official script of the Republic of China (中華民國) is Traditional Chinese (正體字/繁體字).AnswerMandarin has been the official language of Taiwan since 1945. Prior to 1945, no one in Taiwan spoke Mandarin. The majority spoke Taiwanese, with Japanese, Hakka, and aboriginal languages also spoken.After Chiang Kai Shek's government , the Taiwanese languages and culture were repressed from 1945 until the 1990's. Taiwanese could not be spoken in public, and Taiwanese and other languages could not be taught in schools.Because of this, probably 98% of Taiwanese now can speak Mandarin. Probably 50% of that group also speak Taiwanese, and 20% can speak limited Taiwanese. I doubt more than 2-3 % speak Hakka well. Most of the aboriginal languages have been wiped out. Some of the elderly cannot speak Mandarin at all and speak Taiwanese or Japanese.mostly Mandarin (Chinese), but some people in Taiwan speaks Taiwanese. most of the people that speaks Taiwanese are in older generation. also, Taiwanese can be a little alike to Japanese, because of its history.MandarinTaiwan style chinese, but mainly native TaiwaneseThe official language is standard Chinese, Taiwanese is recognised and regional languages are Hakka and the Formosan languagesPeople in Taiwan usually speak Standard Mandarin, although a goodly number also speak Taiwanese (a variant of Min Nan), some speak Hakka, and some members of older generations speak Japanese.Taiwanese people speak mostly Mandarin and Taiwanese, but quite a few people are fluent in English too since there are international schools in Taiwan.The people of Taiwan speak Taiwanese (a variant from Min Nan), but the official language is Mandarin (Chinese).Most speak Mandarin, but 70% also speak Hokkien-Taiwanese.
