Unless these dialects use seperate writing systems from Classical Chinese used in Taiwan then you should be able to get the context easily.

Taiwan's aboriginal languages are not Chinese dialects, they belong to the Austronesian language family. They don't have standardized writing systems, and if they would have them, then they would probably be written in the Latin script, like virtually all other Austronesian languages.

Right, but Daniel Tammet is a savant.

Tammet's claim to being a savant has been heavily questioned by many. It's highly doubtful that he's anything of the sort. Rather, he's a very talented and skilled memory artist (which, of course, Glossika is not, as far as I know).

At the Taroko National park near Hualien I saw a trilingual text near the Visitor Centre, and the local aboriginal language was indeed written in Latin letters.
