Tauaans

Tauaans (Amerikaens: Tauaens, Corean: 도란어, Chinese: 桃語), also known as Taugi, is a Dutch-based creole language & lingua franca spoken in Tauland and the Taulander diaspora. During the period of Dutch colonial rule, it was born from centuries of interaction between speakers of Dutch dialects and southern Chinese dialects, followed by influence from the Coreans, Japanese, and other minority linguistic groups.
