1.) '''Tauland Standard Dutch (TSD)''': Closest to Hollandic Dutch, but has some features distinct to Tauland; most notably unique vocabulary and a distinct phonology. There is no significant grammatical difference between Tauland Standard Dutch and Hollandic Dutch with TSD being considered little more than a dialect of Hollandic. It is the language most commonly used in school and government and is considered prestige language of the nation.▼
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.▼

Roman Catholicism is their dominant religion while a few adhere to the Protestant churches.
