Mr.Michael · Answer

Their language is a local dialect, seems neither Hokkian nor Foochow. It is different from the two languages.

Pat Welsh · Answer

Nicholas Bodmann in his book Spoken Amoy Hokkien identifies the Local Dialect as a Mandarin Dialect.  Not having samples of it, I cannot verify this.  If it is, it would be a southeastern Mandarin dialect, the most diverse group of subdialects Mandarin has.
