Classification

Published materials are insufficient to establish whether this language was an Austronesian language like most of the surrounding languages (Roviana, Marovo and the rest of the New Georgia subgroup), or a non-Austronesian language like neighboring Touo. Language maps sometimes show the Touo language extending to Tetepare Island, but this seems to be an accident.
