The targets of the study consist of parents from the 12 districts and 24 classes in Taipei city who use language in different occasions. There are 494 effective questionnaires and an interview of two random targets from each of the 12 districts to discuss their use of languages andreasons. The analysis of the results shows that regardless of at home, work or other aspects, the use of Mandarin language accounts for the highest proportion, reaching as high as 65%. The use of Taiwanese accounts for 33%, while Hakka, Aboriginal languages and other languages account for less than 10% of language use. Only 20% of the interviewees completely use their mother tongues only, and the main reasons consist of their habitual language use since little, communicating in the language that the other person speaks of, speaking in Taiwanese with the elderly and speaking Mandarin with the young people, impacts of Mandarin language education and convenience in using Mandarin. In the perspective of sociolinguistics, Taipei is accounted for the largest distribution area for Mandarin. Reviving mother tongue is a universal value and a responsibility and obligation which one cannot deny. The authorities should reinforce implementation of mother tongue education, highlighting the significance of mother tongue in families and to pass on the language of the ancestor generations after generations.
