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 in the southern hemisphere next to Samoa, Fiji, Tuvalu, And Vanuatu.
Most people from Rotuma live in Fiji there are also more people from Rotuma that live in Fiji than their own island.
Rotuma is about 586 kilometres away from Fiji which is probably why most Rotumans live on Fiji.
In Rotuma the population is only about less than 2,000 people on the island.
That’s because 10,000 of them live in Fiji rather than rotuma.
It is said to be that rotuma has 300 islands in rotuma and 540 islets scattered 1,000,000 square miles.
Languages spoken on Rotuma are English and Rotuman. But sadly their Rotuman language is classified as endangered.
Which means their language could disappear. As an endangered they have only about 5,000-7,500 speakers in Fiji and on there island
Rotuma can teach you how to hold your own culture because your language could be endangered and disappear.
