'''Nayobuk'''(''nahyobuk''; <small>Nawuhu:</small> ''na’a yohbuk'', lit. "thief language") is the Nawuhu [[w:Jargon|jargon]] of the Yobukai, a group of people descended from rural indigenous migrants to Wuhu Town. Nayobuk has its own grammar mostly independent of Nawuhu or English grammar rules, though its primary lexifier is still Nawuhu, with many additional loanwords from English, Japanese and other languages spoken by tourists who visit Wuhu Island. It also has some [[w:Polari|Polari]]-derived words, mostly originating from gay seafarers who spoke Polari in the British Merchant Navy and were briefly stationed on Wuhu Island. | |||
