Koanui

The language of the Kaikai people of Koa'ki. This language is related to other languages in the southern archipelago, such as Tāngatāiki, the language of the Tāngata. While there are some variations in dialects between different regions of Koa'ki, the language is largely uniform throughout the island. There are also some loan words from other languages, particularly those of nearby islands, that have made their way into the Kaikai language. It is inspired by Hawaiian.
