Names & Etymology
The name Taulandt has its roots in Tau (Sirayan language, people) + landt (Dutch, land). It was formerly called Dutch Formosa during its early colonial years (from Portuguese Ilha Formosa, beautiful island). It is unknown when the name Taulandt was first used to refer to the island. The earliest mention the name Taulandt (and the language Tauaans) was in an official document by the local colonial administrative office about the island's status in 1739. However, it was not until the 1800s (when the colonists started to begin forming their own identity) that the name Taulandt became a common nickname for the island. The nation's name was officially confirmed in the Treaty of Batavia (1891), which had established the independence of the nation.
