Hainanese (海南話), also known as Qiongwen (琼文) or Qiongyu (琼语), is a variety of Min Nan Chinese spoken in the southern Chinese island province of Hainan, and sometimes including Leizhou Min of the neighboring mainland Leizhou Peninsula. "Hainanese" can sometimes mean the language of the Li people living in the southern coast of Hainan, but generally means the Chinese language of Hainan. It is mutually unintelligible with other Min Nan dialects, such as Teochew and Hokkien–Taiwanese.
