Kaxabu people

The Kaxabu people are a variant of the Pazeh/Kaxabu ethno-linguistic group of Taiwanese Aborigines.

Their language, a variety of Southern Min, has some unique features for Austronesian languages, such as a copula (to be).[1] It was listed as a separate language, but is now considered a dialect.[2]
