The Tikopia language, or Fakatikopia, is a Polynesian Outlier language from the island of Tikopia in the Solomon Islands. It is closely related to the Anuta language of the neighboring island of Anuta; some linguists[who?] believe they are dialects of the same language. Tikopia is also spoken by the Polynesian minority on Vanikoro, who migrated from Tikopia several centuries ago.
The language is spoken by approximately 3,320 speakers, and is not considered endangered.[1]
The language has benefitted from a thorough description by anthropologist Raymond Firth (1901-2002).
