'''Tauland''' (Chinese: ''桃國, tau-kuo''), officially |
'''Tauland''' (Chinese: ''桃國, tau-kuo,'' [[Corean]]: 도랜국 ''torenkoek,'' Japanese: ''Tōgoku''), officially '''De Republiek van Taulandt''', is a country in East Asia. It was formerly called Dutch Formosa during its colonial years. Neighboring countries include China across the Hokkien Strait to the northwest, Japan to the northeast, and the Philippines to the south. The main island of Taulandt has an area of 35,808 square kilometers (13,826 sq mi), with mountain ranges dominating the eastern two-thirds and plains in the western third, where its highly urbanized population is concentrated. Nieuwe Haag is the capital as well as the largest metropolitan area of Tauland. Other major cities include Zeelandia, Hoodstadt, Schuylerstadt, and Kustadt. With 25.57 million inhabitants, Tauland is among the most densely populated countries in the world. It has a highly developed economy and industrial capacity and is seen as an oddball in the east. |

Austronesian-speaking Formosan indigenous peoples settled the island of Formosa around 6,000 years ago. In the 17th century, partial Dutch colonization opened the island to mass Han Chinese immigration. However with the Dutch staying the island grew in its population as Dutch settlers were brought in and many more women from Japan, Korea, and China were brought in. Over the centuries the island became rich due to its ideal position to allow trade with china that was becoming increasingly insular, this wealth allowed it to industrialize rather quickly and has allowed it to become an advanced economy, something that was called the Tauland Miracle. |

2.) '''Tauland Colloquial Dutch (TCD)''': More commonly known as "'''Tauaans'''" is an informal and unstandardized Dutch-based creole, infusing influences from Cantonese, Hokkien, Corean & Japanese. It is mostly spoken in urban areas, and particularly the strongest within the lesser educated groups, the youth and those descendent from recent immigrants. Tauaans is notable for it's simplification of Dutch grammar, fast-direct way of speaking and use of slang. |
