Pileni Language (piv)

Also Known As: Pilheni Description: The Pileni language 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. It is named for Pileni, one of the Reef 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 this is only weakly supported...... full article at Wikipedia Location of Pileni Language Speakers http://llmap.org/languages/piv/static_map.png?width=400&height=300&kilroywashere=.png
