Qiongwen (琼文) or Hainanese (海南話) is a branch of the Min Nan group of Chinese spoken in the southern Chinese island province of Hainan. "Hainanese" can sometimes mean the language of the Li people living in the southern coast of Hainan, but generally means the Qiongwen language of the Han Chinese in Hainan. It is mutually unintelligible with other Min Nan dialects, such as Teochew and Hokkien–Taiwanese.
