Hiliorian Phineaner, known as Kota Hilio Phineaner or Tri-State Area Phineaner, is a dialect of Phineaner language spoken in the Territory of Kota Hilir and Tri-State Area, it is spoken in most of the territory of Kota Hilir including Kota Hilir, part of the Hilio Tengah, Matunggoi, Interior and Chasin Precinct and most of the Tri-State Area including parts of Danville and Jefferson County as well as several other areas. It is not widely spoken in both territories. Hiliorian Phineaner is spoken there along with Common Tongue and Ferb Latin as well as Phineaner creoles in the Tri-State Area, and along with Baba Phineaner, Chetty Phineaner and Kristang in Kota Hilir.

There are about 1.4 million speakers in both territories. Unlike the Phinbellan language and other Phineaner dialects, the Hiliorian-Tri-State Phineaner has the most distinctive pronunciation and vocabulary, and has many similarities with the Gangwol dialect and the Phinbellan language, both variants in the Hiliorian dialect are likely tonal, it is a unique variant of the Phineaner spoken within both of these territories.

Hiliorian dialects according to specific precincts and areas vary. A native speaker can distinguish the Kota Hilir dialect from the Interior Precinct area, and can distinguish the Danville (urban area) dialect from the Jefferson County rural area.

Vowels

The Hiliorian dialect generally has six vowel letters namely a, e, é, i, o and u. In most areas, the vowels i and é are confined, as are the vowels o and u, usually most areas have converted the vowels i to é and o to u in the middle and early syllable parts. The Hiliorian-Tri-State dialect generally has a unique word suffix, where the -ar suffix, the consonant letter r has been dropped and replaced with the vowel letter u, continuously becoming -au. For example, the word besar 'big' is pronounced besau and keluar 'out' is pronounced keluau.

The vowel letter a after the consonant at the end of the word has been replaced with the vowel letter e which sounds schwa ([ə]), similar to the Gangwol and Orange Free State dialects. For example, kenapa 'why' is kenape, and berapa 'how much' is beghape.

It is possible that in some areas the -ir suffix changes, where the consonant letter r has been dropped and replaced with the vowel letter o, and there are some areas where the -ir suffix is dropped and replaced with the vowel letter -é.
