...However, scholars differ in opinion as to the position of the Alpine languages ​​within the Australasian language family. Some theories divide the Australasian languages ​​into the Western (Indonesian) and Oceanian branches, with the Alpine languages ​​belonging to the former, others divide the Australasian languages ​​into two major branches: the Taiwanese (Alpine languages) and others, others divide the Australasian languages ​​into three major branches: the Taiwanese, Western, and Oceanian, and still others divide the Australasian languages ​​into four major branches: the Atayal, Tsou, Paiwan (all three of these branches are Alpine languages), and the Malayo-Polynesian. There is much debate about the subdivision of the Gao Mountain languages, but there is no disagreement on three points: (1) Atayal and Sedeq are closely related and form the Atayalic group, (2) Tsou, Kanakanabu, and Saaroa are closely related and form the Tsouic group, and (3) Yami, a language of Orchid Island, belongs to the Batanic group of the Philippines rather than to the languages ​​of Taiwan. All other languages ​​(including the languages ​​of the Pingpu people, who became Han Chinese early on and lost their unique customs and language) were previously thought to belong to the Paiwanic group, but various problems have arisen as research and studies have progressed.
