Taiwan's estimated population in 2000 was 22,319,222, yielding an average population density of 620 persons per sq km (1,606 per sq mi). The population is unevenly distributed, however, as most people live on the plains and basins west of the Chungyang Range. Taipei, Kaohsiung, and T'aichung are the three largest cities. Metropolitan Taipei is the political, economic, cultural, and transportation center of Taiwan. Kaohsiung is the major industrial center in the south and Taiwan's largest commercial port. T'aichung is the major industrial center of central Taiwan. Most people in Taiwan are ethnic Han Chinese and were born on the mainland or have ancestors that were. They are divided into three groups based on their native Chinese dialect: Taiwanese (who speak Taiwanese, also called Min), Hakka (who speak Hakka, also called Kejia), and Mandarin. Min, Hakka, and Mandarin all belong to the Sino-Tibetan languages family. Taiwan also has a small population of aborigines who comprise about 2 percent of the total population. There are nine major aborigine tribes, each speaking a different form of Formosan, a member of the Austronesian languages family. Mandarin Chinese is Taiwan's official language.
