Taiwanization or Taiwanisation (; Pe̍h-oē-jī: Tâi-oân pún-thó͘-hòa ūn-tōng), also known as the Taiwanese localization movement, is a conceptual term used in Taiwan to emphasize the importance of a (separate) Taiwanese culture, society, economy, and nationality, rather than to regard Taiwan as solely an appendage of China. This involves the teaching of the history of Taiwan, geography, and culture from a Taiwan-centric perspective, as well as promoting languages locally established in Taiwan, including Taiwanese Hokkien (Taiwanese), Hakka, and aboriginal languages.
