Atayal Pop Music!

Wanna hear some pop music sung in the Atayal language?

Atayal is a language spoken by the Atayal tribe of Aborigines of Taiwan. It's one of the most ancient of the Austronesian languages, distantly related to Malay, Maori and Hawaiian.

The singer's pronunciation is very clear, plus the video has Atayal and Chinese subtitles (but alas no English).
