Cannanore Indo-Portuguese is an Indo-Portuguese creole spoken on the Malabar coast of India. It formed from contact between the Portuguese and Malayalam languages in Indo-Portuguese households in the city of Cannanore (Kannur). It is estimated to have native five speakers remaining.[1] It formed after the Cochin Indo-Portuguese.[Does this mean in time, or that it derived from Cochin IP?]
The presence of Portuguese were strong in Cannanore during 1500's. Lourenço de Almeida, son of the Viceroy Almeida was the leader of a Portuguese fleet. His fleet encountered the Indian fleet lead by Zamorin in the Battle of Cannanore.
