Squliq

Squliq is a major language variety of the Atayal people of northern Taiwan. Atayal communities lived on both sides of the northern Central Mountain Range, among steep valleys and forested ridges. Villages maintained their own relationships and customs, while sharing a language and traditions that connected them across the mountains. The Squliq variety was spoken in the northern highlands, including the country around Wūlái, alongside other Atayal varieties spoken farther west and south.
