‘We are Indigenous people, not primitive people.’: the role of popular music in Indigenous language revitalization in Taiwan
Open accessAbstract
Indigenous languages in Taiwan are experiencing various degrees of language endangerment. Reversing language shift, however, faces difficulties due to the minority status of the languages. This study identifies two Indigenous singer-songwriters who released popular music sung in their endangered Indigenous languages as micro-level language planning actors and investigates their language activism. Drawing on the framework of strategies in language activism, this study analyses their grass-root initiatives in language activism by examining their public discourse about their ideologies and actions. This study finds that through strategic creating and representing, the musicians aimed to encourage Indigenous youth to use their ethnic language, develop their confidence through popular music, and shift the image of Indigenous languages from traditional, inferior, and underprivileged to international, modern, and confident. Moreover, this study found that, unlike previous studies, the Taiwanese musicians employed various connecting strategies to create a sustainable virtuous cycle to motivate Indigenous people to revitalize their languages. Furthermore, their strategies consider language ecology and aim to connect non-Indigenous Taiwanese with their initiatives to create a friendly societal environment for the Indigenous people. The findings contribute to the development of a repertoire of strategies in language activism and have practical implications for Indigenous language revitalization.

TL;DR
This study examines two Taiwanese Indigenous singer-songwriters, Abao (Paiwan) and Suming (Amis), as micro-level language planners who use popular music for Indigenous language revitalization. It finds they strategically create, represent, and connect across Indigenous and non-Indigenous audiences to improve language prestige, image, and the broader language ecology.
Key findings
- Through popular music, Abao and Suming aimed to encourage Indigenous youth to use their ethnic languages, build confidence, and shift the image of Indigenous languages from “traditional, inferior, and underprivileged” to “international, modern, and confident.”
- They engaged in prestige and image planning for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous audiences, including framing their languages as like French or other foreign languages, presenting contemporary Indigenous life, and rejecting helpless or primitive stereotypes (e.g., “We are Indigenous people, not primitive people”).
- Unlike previous studies, the musicians employed a wide range of “connecting” strategies to create a sustainable virtuous cycle, linking people, events, spaces, resources, and communication practices; they also connected non-Indigenous Taiwanese to Indigenous people and spaces to foster a friendlier societal environment.
- Contextual numbers: Indigenous people comprise only 2% of Taiwan’s population and at least 16 distinct groups are officially recognized; a 2018 Indigenous Education report found only 5.8% of Indigenous seventh-graders considered themselves fluent in speaking, while 81.2% reported seldom using their ethnic languages.
Methods
- Qualitative case study of two Indigenous singer-songwriters: Abao (Aljenljeng Tjaluvie, Paiwan) and Suming (Suming Rupi, Amis), selected as influential indie musicians who brought Indigenous languages into mainstream popular music.
- Data comprised public discourse: 32 exclusive interviews of Suming and 45 of Abao published between 2010–2021, plus 120 press releases and promotional materials; social media pages were tracked during 2021, with data collected via Google keyword searches.
- Analysis followed Braun and Clarke’s six-phase thematic analysis and interpreted findings through De Korne’s framework of language activism strategies (actions of representing, connecting, and creating; goals involving resources, events, spaces/structures, people/identities, and communication practices).
Limitations
- The paper does not state limitations explicitly. Evident from the text: the study is a case study of only two musicians, so findings are not generalizable to all Indigenous language activists or musicians in Taiwan.
- Evident: it relies on public discourse, interviews, press releases, and promotional materials rather than direct observation or audience data, so it does not measure actual language use, learning outcomes, or non-Indigenous audience reception.
- Evident: data collection depended on Google scraping and social media tracking, which may miss offline, non-public, or unindexed discourse; the temporal scope is mainly 2010–2021.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-26.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-26.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
