It is the mother tongue of the Scattered Islands Frontier Creole community of about 1 million speakers.
The term "Scattered Frontier Phineaner" is not a formal term as most people use this term, it is likely that most academics or linguists use the term "Bamboo Phineaner" or "Scatered Islands Phineaner". It is possible that some of its speakers regard this creole as a dialect, and some even regard it as a pidgin. It was first exported to parts of the Tri-State Area, Dinding Island including Providenciales, Plazas de Irian, Cyborges and Rintis Island as well as remote islands in the RP 2610s by migrants who came there, and it was used as a home speech only.
Scattered Frontier Phineaner is one of the most popular informal languages in contemporary Phinbellan culture, it is used as the basis of slang in all three autonomous territorial units or in Oriental Hispanioéire Taemhwan, and is commonly used in TC-pop songs, local animation, Creole dramas and Télérōman.

Background
Many consider this creole to be a Phineaner dialect, while some consider it to be an evolved creole. These creoles were formed when the Westerner community and the slave class were respectively unable to communicate with each other especially with the Taemhwanian Phineaners, Oranje Phineaners or other bumiputera and Sangunese communities. It is believed to have resulted from a cultural mixing between Phineaners, slaves and Westerners, and created a Phineaner-based pidgin, with a mixture of words from the Taemhwanian and Oranje dialects, and loanwords of Westerners and Sangunese, as well as little Common Tongue grammatical structure and Sangunese. It was creolized even though it incorporated elements of Sundanese, Javanese, Batak or Mandailing, Banjarese, Balinese and Bugis, and subsequently passed down to the next generation as their mother tongue.
Scattered Frontier Phineaner has a large number of Betawi, Hokkien, Arboric, Common Tongue, Sangunese, Batavian, Portuguese, Isleños, Alexandrian loanwords. It was spoken along with a Sangunese-based creole, Taemhwanian Frontier Settlements Area Creole, and replaced a Batavian-based creole.
Pronouns are quite different according to their dialect variations. The pronouns temé or awok (i or me) and miké or komé (you) are derived from the Oranje dialect, especially the sub-dialects of Waeng Secretariat and Rouxville, the pronouns kawé or ambo and démo or démé are derived from the Taemhwanian dialect, while the personal pronouns gué and lu, as well as the numbers cépék (hundred), gopék (five hundred) and sécén (thousand) from the Hokkien language.
