Does anyone here have good resources on any of the taiwanese aboriginal languages? Thinking about using Tsou or summat as a base for a conlang, haven't been around these boards in a while heh

Ask Tximist, he's probably learned more about them than any of us. He still posts here, right?

Check uz-translations. I think I found a Tsou grammar there once. I'd dig up the link but I can't get to a computer right now.

As is often the case with small obscure languages, you'll have better luck searching in the language of the dominant language in the area, which in this case is Chinese.

People can even browse the internet on their cellphones nowdays... Sometimes having the internet and people everywhere just makes me grab my bike and bike miles out into the middle of nowhere and lay on the grass and relax. I don't know how city people can survive without it all...

you'll have better luck searching in Chinese.
Gives me a good excuse to pick up some Chinese, but for now I'll just try out google translate...
