Hoklo Min

Hoklo, Hailufeng (海陸丰 Hai Lok Hong), or in the language itself Haklau, is a variety of Chinese mostly spoken in the Hailufeng region of Guangdong. The region includes Shanwei (Swabue), which administratively includes Haifeng County (海丰 Hai Hong), and Lufeng City (陸丰 Lok Hong), which itself was a former county and now county-level city. The name 'Hailufeng' / 'Hai Lok Hong' (海陸丰) is a portmanteau of those places. It is a Southern Min (Min Nan) language with similarities to Hokkien, especially Chiangchew Hokkien, though it also has close geographical and cultural ties with neighboring Teo-Swa. Ethnically, the Hoklo see themselves as Hailok, separate from the Teochews.

Differences from Teochew dialect proper include the preservation of the final codas -t and -n, which are completely lost in Teochew, as well as the absence of the -oi finals.
