Amis is the Formosan language of the Amis (or Ami), an indigenous tribal people living along the east coast of Taiwan (see Taiwanese aborigines). It is spoken from Hualien in the north to Taitung in the south, with another population near the southern end of the island, though the northern varieties are sometimes considered a separate language. Government services in counties where many Amis people live in Taiwan, such as the Hualien and Taitung train stations, broadcast in Amis alongside Mandarin. However, few Amis under the age of 20 in 1995 spoke the language, and it is not known how many of the 138,000 ethnic Amis are speakers. ==Dialects== Amis is a dialect cluster. The northern varieties, Sakizaya and Nataoran, are divergent enough to be classified as a separate language or languages. Within Amis proper, there are Tavalong-Vata'an, Middle, and Southern dialects, the latter including Malan and Hengchun Amis. *Ami * *Amis proper * * *Fatang〔http://language.psy.auckland.ac.nz/austronesian/language.php?id=800〕 * * *Fata'an〔http://language.psy.auckland.ac.nz/austronesian/language.php?id=799〕 * *Sakizaya〔http://language.psy.auckland.ac.nz/austronesian/language.php?id=801〕 * *Nataoran 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amis language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
