Orang Kanaq language is one of the Aboriginal Malay languages and it is grouped under the Austronesian language family.[3] It is spoken by the Orang Kanaq, which is one of the 19 Orang Asli groups living in Peninsular Malaysia.
Orang Kanaq is a variant of Malay which is distinct from the dialects spoken by ethnic Malays living near them.[4] All members of the Orang Kanaq tribe are able to understand the language. However, the language's lexicon has been largely influenced by the Malay language.[1]
