Nantungese

The Nantungese language is a creole language spoken in the Nan Tung and Camantanam area. Despite its closeness, Nantungese is mutually unintelligible with Cadasan largely because of phonological differences, but also due to differences in grammar and vocabulary.

History
Nantungese was created as a result of Chinese and Malay traders in the Camantanam area needing a common ground to comunicate. Until the mid-to-late 19th century, the language was called Camantanese. Today, Nantungese uses a mix of unintelligible Malay and Hokkien for speaking, while using Nan Tong heunkei, a form of hanzi, to write.

Nantungese was the most common language spoken among overseas Cadasans until the 1990s, when the Cadasan language tied it, and in the 2010s Cadasan became the most common language.
