Orang Kanaq language

Orang Kanaq language is one of the Aboriginal Malay languages, grouped under the Austronesian language family. It is spoken by the Orang Kanaq, one of the 19 Orang Asli groups in Peninsular Malaysia.

A variant of Malay, Orang Kanaq is distinct from the dialects spoken by ethnic Malays living near them. All members of the Orang Kanaq tribe understand the language; however, its lexicon has been largely influenced by the Malay language.
