'''Dokdo Creole''', a.k.a '''Dokdoi''', '''Takeshiman''' or '''Liancourtish'''(독도고, ''dogdo-go'', [[w:Korean language|Korean]]:독도어, ''dogdo-eo''(Dokdo language), [[w:Japanese language|Japanese]]: 竹島方言, ''takeshima-hōgen''(Takeshima dialect))  is a Korean-Japanese [[w:Creole language|creole]] language spoken on the islands of [[w:Liancourt Rocks|Liancourt Rocks]], known as '''Dokdo''' in Korean and '''Takeshima''' in Japanese. Grammatically, it has been described as [[w:Japonic languages|Japonic]], however lexically it is a mixture of both [[w:Japonic|Japonic]] and [[w:Koreanic languages|Koreanic]] languages.

In [[w:South Korea|South Korea]], specifically [[w:North Gyeongsang Province|North Gyeongsang]] province, Dokdo Creole(독도어, ''dogdo-eo'', lit. "Dokdo language") is the co-official language with Korean. Contrary to popular belief, Dokdo Creole is not considered a language in Japanese administration(specifically in [[w:Shimane Prefecture|Shimane]] prefecture), and is instead called the "Takeshima dialect"(竹島方言, ''takeshima-hōgen'') in official documentation. Despite this, South Korea, as well as international consensus classifies Dokdo Creole as a seperate language from either Korean or Japanese.

===Orthography===
Due to the wider administrative support of the Korean government in the preservation of Dokdo Creole, the language de-facto uses the [[w:Hangul|Hangul]] writing system, which is of Korean origin, and indeed, on the Korean-controlled half of Liancourt Rocks, known in Korean as ''Seodo''(서도), all signs are written in Korean and Dokdoi, both in Hangul. On the Japanese-controlled island of ''Onna-jima''(女島), Dokdoi is not considered a separate language and instead as a dialect, thus all signs on the island are written in [[w:Japanese language|Standard Japanese]]. This also explains why the Sōdo dialect, native to Seodo, is much more widely spoken than the Dukdo dialect which is native to Onna-jima.

====Romanisation====
Most of Dokdoi romanisation is based on Korean romanisation, apart from special symbols like ō, ê, ö and ü.

Monophthong /j/, /ɲ/, /ɟ/ do not have a Hangul symbol, instead being represented in diphthongs with vowels, e.g. /ja/ as 야.

===Phonotactics===
===Phonotactics===
<!-- Explain the consonant clusters and vowel clusters that are permissible for use in the language. For example, "st" is an allowed consonant cluster in English while onset "ng" isn't. -->
Dokdo Creole uses a '''(C)V(C)''' syllabic structure. This means that some words of Japanese origin(which uses a (C)V structure) like ''yama''(山, mountain) becomes ''[[Contionary:yam|yam]]''(얌, mountain).
===Morphophonology===
====Examples====
Japanese ''kuruma''(車, car) → Dokdoi ''[[Contionary:gurōm|gurōm]]''(구럼, car/automobile) → Dokdoi ''[[Contionary:gurōmdōro|gurōmdōro]]''(구럼더로, highway, motorway, (infrequent) asphalt)<br>
Japanese ''gin''(銀, silver) → Dokdoi ''[[Contionary:ging|ging]]''(깅, money)
==Morphology==
==Morphology==
===Verbs===
In Dokdoi, there are two '''main verbs''' per se: both ending in ''da''. These two verbs are ''to have'' and ''to be''. ''To have'' is ''o/a'' + ''da''(if the preceding word ends in a vowel, ''ada'' is used), e.g. ''tasu ada''(타수아다, (I) have a cup). To say something ''is'' something else, one simply uses ''da''(or ''dayo'' in the Dukdo dialect), e.g. ''(yong) a aho da''((용)아아호다, (I) am an idiot).

===Constituent order===
===Constituent order===
Dokdoi, like Japanese, uses an '''SOV'''(subject-object-verb) grammatical structure, e.g. ''inu ga gong oda.''(인우가공오다.)(the dog has a ball, lit. dog TOP ball has).
===Noun phrase===
===Noun phrase===
<blockquote>''인우투갼 (inu tu gyan)''<br>lit. ''dog and cat''</blockquote>
The above sentence translates to "The dog and the cat". In Dokdoi, articles like "the" are not used unless you specify the location, e.g. "안우인우(anu inu)", or lit. "the dog (over there)".
====Locational articles====
''anu''(안우) - that (one thing, over there)<br>
''enu''(앤우) - this (next to me)<br>
''anugu''(안우구) - that (multiple things, over there)<br>
''enugu''(앤우구) - this (multiple things next to me)
=====Examples=====
''anu [[Contionary:byochug|byochug]]''(안우뵤축) - that anomaly<br>
''enu [[Contionary:amsōng|amsōng]]''(앤우암성) - this man<br>
''anugu [[Contionary:amsōng|amsōngadê]]''(암성앋에) - those men<br>
''enugu [[Contionary:singsa|singsadê]]''(앤우구싱사데) - these shrines

==Dialects==
Dokdoi has two main dialects: the [[Dokdo Creole#Dukdo|Dukdo]] dialect and the [[Dokdo Creole#Sōdo|Sōdo]] dialect.
===Dukdo===
'''Dukdo'''(둨도), a.k.a eastern dialect(히가쌔후겐, ''higaze hugên'') is spoken mainly on the Japanese-controlled island of Onna-jima(임지마, ''imjima''). Lexically, it is the more Japonic of the two dialects, which leads to some differences in words, even if they are of the same root, e.g. ''[[Contionary:singsa|singsa]]''(싱사) in Sōdo and ''[[Contionary:singsa#Alternative forms|jinja]]''(진자) in Dukdo, both of which come from Japanese ''jinja''(神社).
Additionally, Dukdo tends to have more diphthongs with /n/, compared to Sōdo which tends to turn /n/ into /ŋ/ in diphthongs. For example, Sōdo ''[[Contionary:anyōngan|anyōngan]]''(안영안) and Dukdo ''[[Contionary:anyōngan#Alternative forms|ênyunan]]''(엔유난). Also, Dukdo has more /æ/s than Sōdo, which tends to have more /e/s.
===Sōdo===
'''Sōdo'''(서도), a.k.a western dialect(니지후겐, ''niji hugên'') is spoken mainly on the South Korean-controlled island of ''Seodo'', where the dialect gets its name. It is the more widely spoken dialect of Dokdo Creole, with about 6,000 more native speakers than Dukdo(with 5,000 native speakers). Lexically, it has larger Koreanic influences than Dukdo, but Japonic influence can still be seen, especially in words for nature, cardinal directions, body parts and animal parts.
