Language policy in Taiwan during martial law

During the martial law period in Taiwan, a Mandarin monolingual policy was implemented in Taiwan by the Kuomintang.[1] The policy was formulated as a political goal to unite the island.[2] However, the demotion of prior local languages into "dialects" across cultural and educational landscapes resulted in a pushback of the policy and eventually rescinded as Taiwan democratized.[3]
