}}Paiwan is a native language of Taiwan, spoken by the Paiwan, a Taiwanese indigenous people. Paiwan is a Formosan language of the Austronesian language family. It is also one of national languages of Taiwan.[2] The number of speakers is estimated to be 66,000.[3]

Dialects

Paiwan variants can be divided into the following dialect zones (Ferrell 1982:4–6).

  • A1 – southern and central
    • Kuɬaɬau (Kulalao) – used in Ferrell's 1982 Paiwan Dictionary due to its widespread intelligibility and preservation of various phonemic distinctions; also spoken in Tjuabar Village, Taitung County, where Tjariḍik and "Tjuabar" (closely related to Tjavuaɬi) are also spoken.
    • Kapaiwanan (Su-Paiwan)
    • Tjuaqatsiɬay (Kachirai) – southernmost dialect
  • A2 – central
    • ɬarəkrək (Riki-riki)
    • Patjavaɬ (Ta-niao-wan)
  • B1 – northernmost
    • Tjukuvuɬ (Tokubun)
    • Kaviangan (Kapiyan)
  • B2 – northwestern
    • Tjaɬakavus (Chalaabus, Lai-yi)
    • Makazayazaya (Ma-chia)
  • B3 – east-central
    • Tjariḍik (Charilik)
  • B4 – eastern
    • Tjavuaɬi (Taimali)
    • Tjakuvukuvuɬ (Naibon, Chaoboobol)

Phonology

Kuɬaɬau Paiwan has 23–24 consonants ({{IPA|/h/}} is found only in loanwords, and {{IPA|/ʔ/}} is uncommon) and 4 vowels (Ferrell 1982:7). Unlike many other Formosan languages that have merged many Proto-Austronesian phonemes, Paiwan preserves most Proto-Austronesian phonemes and is thus highly important for reconstruction purposes.

The four Paiwan vowels are {{IPA|/i ə a u/}}. {{IPA|/ə/}} is written e in the literature.

In Northern Paiwan the palatal consonants have been lost, though this is recent and a few conservative speakers maintain them as allophonic variants (not as distinct phonemes). {{IPA|/ʔ/}} is robust, unlike in other Paiwan dialects where its status is uncertain, as it derives from *q.

Younger speakers tend to pronounce {{IPA|/ʎ/}} as {{IPA|[l]}}. Fricative {{IPA|[ɣ]}} is characteristic of Mudan village; elsewhere is Southern Paiwan it tends to be a trill {{IPA|[r]}}, though it still varies {{IPA|[r ~ ɣ ~ ʁ ~ h]}}. Word-initial *k has become {{IPA|/ʔ/}}.
