Rotokas language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (592 words)
Rotokas is a language (part of the East Papuan language family) spoken by some 4000 people in Bougainville, an island to the east of New Guinea, part of Papua New Guinea.
The Rotokas alphabet is perhaps the smallest in use (only Pirahã has been claimed to have fewer speech sounds, but it is not written).
Typologically, Rotokas is a fairly typical verb-final language, with adjectives and demonstrative pronouns preceding the nouns they modify, and postpositions following.
