Kōkainese Phineaner (Sangunese: 黃海のマライ語?, Phineaner: Bahasa Phineaner Kōkaï; Jawi: بهاس ملايو كوكاي), also known as Base Kōkaï (バサ・黃海?, IPA: [basə ko̞ːka̠i]) or Tschakak Kōkaï (チャカㇰ・黃海?, IPA: [tt͡ɕakak̚ ko̞ːka̠i]), alternatively known as Northern Euran Phineaner, is a a dialect of Phineaner spoken in the Phinbellan special self-governing territory or state of Kōkai especially in the Losong and 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 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 Tempasuk region such as Manschūhōrian and even neighbouring Shandānø'kaílander, the Kōkainese dialect is considered non-standard, but sometimes will be standard over the territory. The 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, Hiliorian, 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 phonetic, syntactic and lexical differences that make it unintelligible to speakers from outside Kōkai and outside the PES region, especially those who speak Standard Phineaner or 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 collectivity and autonomous sub-district along the main river basin and it is named after the area or collectivity where it is spoken more.
