Pileni is a culturally important island in the Reef Islands, in the northern part of the Solomon Islands province of Temotu.
The name of the island, Pileni, has also been given to the Samoic-Outlier language spoken there.
The Pilenilanguage is also spoken on Nupani, Nukapu, Nifiloli, Aua and Matema of the Reef Islands, as well as in the Taumako Islands (also known as the Duff Islands), some 200 miles to the east.
The linguistic part of the project focuses on the documentation (grammars, text collections and dictionaries) and studies (articles in linguistic journals on typological, sociolinguistic and diachronic matters) of the Pileni and Äiwo languages in Vaeakau and the Reef Islands in the Temotu province in the far east of the Solomon Islands.
Pileni is a Polynesian language, but both in syntax and especially phonology it is quite different from the other Polynesian languages.
It is appears to be related to the languages on Santa Cruz, and it may be related to some Papuan languages in the Solomons and in Papua Niu Kini.
