I am writing to enquire whether it is possible to add Taiwanese Mandarin to the language list, not to emphesize the status between China and Taiwan we are confronting now but the colloqation in informal speech has significant discrepencies, not to mention formal language, even writing systems may vary between dialects and slangs. I would be very appreciated for this.
Unfortunately, only languages that have their own ISO 639-3 codes (Taiwanese Mandarin doesn’t) can be added to Tatoeba.

Though we cannot add Taiwan Mandarin as a separate language, we have a tag number 2636: "Taiwan Mandarin". If you contribute a sentence (or see another sentence on this site) in Taiwan Mandarin, you can write "Taiwan Mandarin" as a comment for the sentence and somebody can come and tag that sentence.
