Nuguria (Nukuria) is a Polynesian language, spoken by approximately 550 people on Nuguria in the eastern islands of Papua New Guinea.[2] The language was taught in primary schools in Nuguria and was used for daily communications between adults and children.[3] Nuguria is one of the eighteen small islands to the east of Papua New Guinea, which are known as the Polynesian Outliers.[4] The Nukuria language has been concluded to be closely related to other nearby languages such as Nukumanu, Takuu, Nukuoro, and Luangiua.[4][5] Research on the Nuguria Atoll and the language itself is scarce; past research demonstrated that this language was at risk of potential endangerment. The language was only then classified as at risk of endangerment because it was still used between generations and was passed on to the children.[citation needed] However, recent research indicates that Nukuria is now most likely an extinct language.[6]
