Orang Kanaq language is one of the Aboriginal Malay languages, grouped under the Austronesian language family.[1] 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.[2] All members of the Orang Kanaq tribe understand the language; however, its lexicon has been largely influenced by the Malay language.
