Surnames are listed by origin or linguistic extent. If we say Chang is only a Korean and Taiwanese surname, then we must say it is a American, Canadian, British, Japanese, Jamacan, Singaporean, and South African surname because people with this surname exist all over the world. -- Jiang 23:25, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Taiwanese is not an ethnicity. The main ethnic groups in Taiwan are Han Chinese (98%) and aboriginal (2%). -- Jiang 01:23, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
I have a feeling you really don't know what you are talking about. Tan (Chen in pinyin) /Goh (Wu in pinyin) are common in Singapore, because the Chinese was originally romanized from Min dialect (which most migrants to SE Asia spoke. These are still Chinese surnames: their origin is Chinese. If you can find people walking around in Taiwan surnamed Tanaka or de Wit of van der Waals, then all I can say is "good luck". Most Taiwanese aboriginals have sinified their surnames, but for those who have not, aboriginal surnames are very easy to distinguish for being multiple characters long, in which case we would specifically label them as "Taiwanese aboriginal surnames". -- Jiang 02:38, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
