Formosan...
"Formosan was the language spoken by the aboriginal inhabitants
of the area around present-day Tainan, in southwestern Formosa
(Taiwan), where the Dutch founded a fort in 1624.   The Dutch
mies. mistakenly thought it the only language spoken on
the island.   Matthew and John in Formosan were printed only a
year before the Dutch were expelled by a wave of mainland
Chinese who were fleeing the Manchu dynasty."
