Miaoli City (Chinese: 苗栗市; pinyin: Miáolì Shì; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Biâu-le̍k-chhī) is the capital of Miaoli County, Taiwan. Its name Miaoli was coined using two Hakka words, cat (貓) and city (裡), which phonetically approximate Pali (Bari) from one of the Formosan languages. Miaoli has a relatively high percentage of Hakka people. As of 2009, the population was 90,209.
