Vaeakau-Taumako (formerly known as Pileni) is a Polynesian language spoken in some of the Reef Islands as well as in the Taumako
Islands (also known as the Duff Islands) in the Temotu province of the Solomon Islands. The language is spoken throughout
the Taumako Islands, while in the Reef Islands, it is spoken on Aua, Matema, Nifiloli, Nupani, Nukapu, and Pileni. Speakers
are thought to be descendants of people from Tuvalu. The language has traditionally been considered one of the Futunic group
of Polynesian languages, but a 2008 study exclusively based on lexical evidence concluded that this membership is weakly supported. |
