{{nihongo|lead=yes|'''Kōkainese Phineaner'''|黃海のマライ語|extra={{lang-ms|Bahasa Phineaner Kōkaï|}}; {{lang-ms|link=jawi|بهاس ملايو كوكاي}}}}, also known as {{Nihongo||バサ・黃海|Base Kōkaï|extra={{IPA-phi|basə ko̞ːka̠i|IPA}}}}, {{Nihongo||チャカㇰ・黃海|Tschakak Kōkaï|extra={{IPA-phi|tt͡ɕakak̚ ko̞ːka̠i|IPA}}}} or {{Nihongo||ルォラッ・黃海|Lüghat Kōkaï|extra={{IPA-phi|luɔɣat̚ ko̞ːka̠i|IPA}}}}, alternatively known as '''Northern Euran Phineaner''',  is a a dialect of [[Wikipedia:Malay language|Phineaner]] spoken in the [[Phinbella]]n [[Territories of Phinbella|special self-governing territory]] or state of [[Kōkai]] especially in the [[Losong River|Losong]] and [[Glayzer River|Glayzer river]] basin areas, as well as coastal areas up to part of [[Tukau]] and part of [[Padang Hijau]] and [[Bokor]]. It is the mother tongue of [[Kōkainese Phineaners]], and it is also spoken by the largest minority as a second language, it is spoken together with [[Kōkainese Kyōwa-go]], a branch of [[Kyōwa-go in Phinbella|Kyōwa-go]] that exists in Phinbella. However, it is believed that the dialect originated from six Kōkainese periods with the influence of five other Phineaner dialects. Like the dialects of the [[Tempasuku region|Tempasuk region]] such as [[Manschūhōrian Phineaner|Manschūhōrian]] and even neighbouring [[Shandānø'kaílander Phineaner|Shandānø'kaílander]], the Kōkainese dialect is considered non-standard, but sometimes will be standard over the territory. The [[Wikipedia:Pansori|Pansori]] text is written in the Kōkainese dialect. Although it is the official language and standard dialect throughout the state of Kōkai, its co-existence with other major dialects in Kōkai such as [[Gangwol Phineaner|Gangwol]], [[Hiliorian Phineaner|Hiliorian]], [[Wikipedia:Cocos Malay|Cocos]], Shandānø'kaílander and Manschūhōrian, including several other language-based pidgins still plays an important role in maintaining Kōkai's identity.

This dialect has developed distinct [[Wikipedia:Phonetic|phonetic]], [[Wikipedia:Syntactic|syntactic]] and [[Wikipedia:Lexical|lexical]] differences that make it unintelligible to speakers from outside Kōkai and outside the [[Phinbellan Euran States|PES region]], especially those who speak [[Wikipedia:Malay language|Standard Phineaner]] or [[Phinbellan language|Phinbellan]]. Kōkainese Phineaner still has a close linguistic relationship with the dialects in this territory due to the influence of those dialects. Together with the Shandānø'kaílander dialect, it forms under the umbrella term "'''Euran Phineaner language'''" but retains its own distinctive features that differ from the Shandānø'kaílander dialect. Kōkainese Phineaner can be divided into several sub-dialects in each [[Collectivities of Phinbella|collectivity]] and autonomous sub-district along the main river basin and it is named after the area or collectivity where it is spoken more.

Although the territory has a variety of dialects and languages, Kōkainese Phineaner is considered the most recognizable identity of the state. The use of Kōkainese Phineaner can be seen through regional songs that feature an urban atmosphere such as in Singapore Street, it can simultaneously penetrate the [[PP-pop]] market where most of the songs are in Gangwol dialect and other regional languages. [[Kīnichi Moyōmori]] is an up and coming [[Wikipedia:MiHoYo|HoYoverse]] label artist about to release his mini album in the Kōkainese Phineaner dialect. Radio stations in Kōkai either public ([[KBS Singapore Street Broadcasting Branch Office|KBS FM Stereo Kōkai]]) or [[Hydro Radio Network|HRN]] affiliate station ([[FM Singapore Street]]) mostly use Kōkainese Phineaner in their broadcasts along with standard Phineaner. Recent years have shown increased awareness of the uniqueness of the Kōkainese Phineaner language since it was granted special self-governing status, such as the increasing use of Kōkainese Phineaner on shop signs and the recent publication of dictionaries and glossaries of subdialects, particularly the Singapore Street and Glayzer subdialects that have recently launched in early {{AN|10|2024}}.

== Names ==

== Writing system ==

== Classification ==

== Distribution ==
Kōkainese Phineaner is spoken throughout the state except in southern parts of Kōkai such as [[South Furious]], [[Saint Joseph]] and southern [[Collins Collectivity|Collins]], and some southwestern parts of the [[Ulu Telom Collectivity|Ulu Telom]] collectivity where the [[Shandānø'kaílander Phineaner]] dialect is more widely used. While collectivities in the northwestern part such as [[Baronia Collectivity|Baronia]] (including the autonomous sub-region of [[Baronia Barat Autonomous Sub-District|Baronia Barat]]), [[Siwa Collectivity|Siwa]] and [[Beryl Collectivity|Beryl]] as well as the autonomous sub-region of [[Hasnah Autonomous Sub-District|Hasnah]] and [[Patricia Autonomous Sub-District|Patricia]] used to speak [[Manschūhōrian Phineaner|Manschūhōrian]] and [[Gangwol Phineaner|Gangwol]] dialects and various [[Tanah Baharu|Tanah Baruan]]-[[Solovyovagrad|Solovyovagradian]] languages such as [[Wikipedia:Javanese language|Javanese]], [[Wikipedia:Banjarese language|Banjarese]], [[Wikipedia:Rawa (tribe)|Rawa]], [[Wikipedia:Mandailing language|Mandailing]] and [[Wikipedia:Bugis language|Bugis]] due to historical immigration of Manschūhōrians (mainly [[Gogobugians]] and [[Hondonese]]), Gangwol Phineaners and Tanah Baharuans to the area, but the speaking of these dialects has declined and been replaced by the standard subdialect of Kōkainese Phineaner in general, however there have an influence in their speech.

Besides Kōkai, it is also spoken in the [[Syōnan Archipelago]] along with the [[Syōnan Islands Phineaner]] creole, it is spoken by [[Syōnan Islanders]] of Kōkainese descent.

== Variation and subdialects ==
Kōkainese Phineaner is divided into several subdialects in each collectivity crossed by the Glayzer and Losong river basins and also along the coastline, and each subdialect has its own uniqueness. The [[Singapore Street]] subdialect is the ''de facto'' [[Wikipedia:Prestige (linguistic)|standard dialect]] of Kōkainese Phineaner, which are spoken in the [[Singapore Street Metropolitan Area]]. From several subdialects of collectivity, it is also divided into several subdialects according to areas such as villages or towns and it also has its own uniqueness dependings of vocabularies. What all the subdialects have in common is the pronunciation of the letter "e" at the end of a word where Kōkainese Phineaner speakers tend to pronounce it as a [[Wikipedia:Schwa|schwa]].

Residents in the collectivity of South Furious, Saint Joseph and some parts of Collins and Ulu Telom do not speak Kōkainese Phineaner, but instead use [[Shandānø'kaílander Phineaner]], while some areas or villages in some collectivities in Kōkai speak dialects other than Kōkainese Phineaner. Collectivities with a non-Phineaner majority population speak Kōkainese Phineaner along with their mother tongue, mostly in standard subdialects.

Based on the {{AN|1724}} study, the variations and subdialects of the Kōkainese Phineaner is as follows.
