Monolinguals

Any information on how many of the Tao can speak Yami, or are monolingual? 210.254.117.186 (talk) 02:39, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Photo is wrong

This photo is of the Amis people in southern Taitung. The boat in the background is for the Tao tribe, but they are unrelated. The Japanese used the word 'Yami' to describe the people of Orchid Island but it means nothing to them. They are know only as the 'Tao/ Dawu' people amongst themselves. The Yami word is outdated. I am merely correcting this information because I have lived there and my wife is from there. I would like to add more information to this page because it is very poorly done. --Pulpindobby (talk) 02:01, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I concur that the photo is not of the Tao people. It is probably a picture of the Amis people which is a different tribe of the main island of Taiwan. My dad was very familiar with both tribes, and their costumes are drastically different. Shang Ko — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.174.58.116 (talk) 17:52, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Two people have said the photo-caption combination is incorrect, but no one has fixed it. I frankly don't know enough to say what the picture is of so I'm moving it here until someone more knowledgeable can figure out what to do with it. Readin (talk) 05:54, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
