Rotuma Language Week

Noa’ia! That’s hello in the Rotuman language. My information report today will share with you some important facts about Rotuma. 

Rotuma is located near the atmosphere. In the North we have Tuvalu, in the south we have Fiji, in the east we have Samoa and in the west we have Vanuatu

here are less than 2000 people that live in Rotuma because the rest live in Fiji. The Main two languages that Rotuman people speak are Rotuman and English, Sadly heaps of people don’t understand how to speak the culture and that's why the culture is dangerous because the people that are Rotuman can’t speak or understand the language.

I’ve learned that heaps of people from Rotuma can’t understand the language and they can’t speak it. It makes me imagine my own culture Samoan not keeping it alive because not that many people not knowing how to speak the culture.
