Tuvalu language strong but still under threat

[@kevinwahl2967]

Congratulations for your national holiday today Tuvalu

[@desmondesera9540]

Language similar to Samoans and the dancing is similar to Tonga its amazing how similar all us Polynesian people are

[@YourMuvva]

Similar to tongan too. I can hear some tongan words and how they pronounce their vowels sounds very tongan

[@johnappleseed2558]

OmG and Tongan dancing looks like Samoan dancing but really slow motion ..

[@johnappleseed2558]

If anything I think the old ladies all sing the same screeching annoying sounds like they summoning demons in the area ...

[@cashibacamrin]

I heard that there country is one of those countries that might be completely covered under water in a couple of years, it's so sad

[@SportZFan4L1fe]

I like how they don't use electric pianos for their dances lol.

[@sharkeisha2225]

Isn't talofa also Samoan does that mean they have a connection or

[@xurix3953]

I'm samoan and got Tuvaluan blood in me. I heard Tuvaluan people speak samoan but a bit different and I'm so confused with the whole thing

[@xurix3953]

Sounds like they are speaking maori Tongan and samoan at once. That's why I'm a bit lost. I'm more Samoan that's why.

[@歌うホシナ]

christian missionaries came to the island and they spoke samoan. so, the language is heavly influensed by samoan. or, that's what the wiki said before i saw this video. XDD

[@ceciliarosetulafono4506]

That is like the Tokelauan people my people our language is hugely influenced by both Tuvaluan and Samoan especially Samoan because of the Samoan Missionaries who brought the Holy word to our people we also have the Fatele similar to our Tuvaluan brothers and Sisters

[@jayrulez7808]

I’m Samoan and I have friends who are Tuvaluan I can understand the language when it is written yet when they speak its unique because it reminds me of my friends who are Tongan. Beautiful and unique how the connections of our Polynesian languages connect! 💙
