This survey is mainly concerned with language ability and language use of the aborigines on Taiwan. The analysis was based on the data from 441 aboriginal respondents through the questionnaire method. The area under study was the entire Taiwan island. There were five chapters in this thesis. Chapter One described the purpose of this study, the formation of multilingualism, the sociolinguistic setting of Taiwan, and the history of the National Language Movement on Taiwan. In Chapter Two, some theoretical and empirical studies were reviewed. Chapter Three introduced the methodology, including the design of the questionnaire, the collection of data, sampling and statistical procedures for data analysis. Chapter four represented the results and findings of the investigation. In Chapter Five comparisons of the language abilities and language use of the four different aboriginal tribes were shown. It can be concluded that the loss of the aboriginal languages do not have close relationship with the population size. It is, on the other hand, closely related with the place a tribe lives. If a tribe lives in a plain or in a place where the tourism develops well, people there will have better ability in Mandarin and use Mandarin more often.
