Min Dong

The 247,000 figure is the total of the populations given for all the Southeast Asian countries where the Min Dong language is spoken. In other words, the 2000 edition still does not list a population for Min Dong in China. The confusion probably stems from the fact that the Min Dong figures are incorrectly included under the Min Bei population.

Additionally, Lienchiang County Government has established “Let’s Speak Matsu Dialect,” where people can read picture books written in Min Dong dialect through online streaming and live activities. Overall, the MOE and social education institutions are anticipating that the local people will wholeheartedly welcome these much-anticipated events.
