Puyuma people

Puyuma people

The Puyuma (zh-cp|c=卑南族|p=Bēinán-zú; POJ: Puyuma-choUnicode|̍k, Pi-lâm-choUnicode|̍k), also known as the Peinan or Beinan tribe, are one of the tribal groups of the Taiwanese aborigines. The tribe is generally divided into the Chihpen and Nanwang groups, both resident in Taitung County on the east coast of Taiwan.

In the year 2000 the Puyuma numbered 9,606. This was approximately 2.4% of Taiwan's total indigenous population, making them the sixth-largest tribal group.

Excerpted from Table 28:Indigenous population distribution in Taiwan-Fukien Area. Accessed 8/30/06] The Puyuma speak their tribal language as well as Standard Mandarin and Taiwanese. The Puyuma language, however, is dying.
