Hainanese (simplified Chinese: 海南话; traditional Chinese: 海南話; pinyin: Hǎinán huà), also known as Qióng Wén (simplified Chinese: 琼文; traditional Chinese: 瓊文) or Qióng yǔ (瓊語/琼语), is a variety of Min Nan Chinese spoken in the southern Chinese island province of Hainan and part of a language family that sometimes includes Leizhou Min spoken on the neighboring mainland Leizhou Peninsula. "Hainanese" is also used to describe the language of the Li people living in Hainan, but generally refers to the Chinese dialect spoken in Hainan. It is mutually unintelligible with other Min Nan varieties, such as Teochew and Hokkien–Taiwanese, which has led to it being occasionally designated as Qiongwen Min, a separate language from Min Nan. Many Hainanese, mostly from the north-eastern part of the island, emigrated to Singapore.
