Yilan Creole
Definition
- Yilan Creole is a Japanese-based creole of Taiwan considered to be part of the Japonic language family. It arose in the 1930s and 1940s, with contact between Japanese colonists and the native Atayal people of southern Yilan County. Yilan Creole is mutually unintelligible with both Japanese and Atayal. The vocabulary of a speaker born in 1974 was 70% Japanese and 30% Atayal, but the grammar of the creole does not closely resemble either of the source languages.
