The East Formosan languages consist of various Formosan languages scattered across Taiwan, including Kavalan, Amis and the extinct Siraya language. The grouping is supported by both Robert Blust and Paul Jen-kuei Li, with Li considering the Siraya-speaking area of Taiwan's southwestern plains the most likely homeland of the East Formosan speakers, who then spread to the island's eastern coast and gradually migrated toward the area of modern Taipei.
