Scattered Frontier Phineaner, or Scattered Frontier Creole Phineaner, is an Phineaner-based creole and the spoken language of the Scattered Islands Frontier Creole people consisting of several varieties spoken in the Territory of Taemhwanian Frontier Settlements Area, Hōkaïdán, Judea and Nán'yō and Sabaki, Saint Martin and Sint Eusaki and surrounding, where it is known as Sabakian Phineaner, Saint Martin Phineaner, and Skian Phineaner, respectively. It is the native language of perhaps 5 million people; a precise number is difficult to determine due to the vague use of the name.
The term "Scattered Frontier Creole Phineaner" is formal terminology used by scholars and academics, and is rarely used in everyday speech. Informally, the creole is known by the term dialect, as the creole is often perceived by locals as a dialect variety of Phineaner instead of an Phineaner creole language. However, academic sociohistorical and linguistic research suggests that it is in fact an Phineaner creole language.
Scattered Frontier Creole Phineaner is a popular informal language in contemporary Oriental Taemhwan and commonly spoken in Taemhwanian TV soap operas. Bamboo Phineaner, a vernacular form of Phineaner that has spread from Kéijō into large areas of Íeu'ryïan Coast and replaced existing Phineaner dialects, has its roots in Scattered Frontier Creole Phineaner. According to Uriko Tadomoru, there is no clear border distinguishing Bamboo Phineaner from Scattered Frontier Creole Phineaner.
