Wallisian, or ʻUvean is the Polynesian language spoken on Wallis Island (also known as ʻUvea). The language is also known as East Uvean to distinguish it from the related West Uvean language spoken on the outlier island of Ouvéa near New Caledonia. The latter island was colonized from Wallis Island in the 18th century.
Futunan is the Polynesian language spoken on Futuna (and Alofi). The term East-Futunan is also used to distinguish it from the related West Futunan (Futuna-Aniwan) spoken on the outlier islands of Futuna and Aniwa in Vanuatu. This language is a member of the diminishing set of native Pacific languages, it is classified as endangered.
If you are interested to see your native language/dialect be featured here.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

The first is exactly like the Tongan language. Understood everything perfectly.😍

[@GrandM4R371-p5o]

Thats because they have connection to tonga😂

[@LiamLeKawaine]

because Wallis=Tonga Futuna=Samoa

[@KANYEOMARIWESTOFFICAL]

it makes sense why they are similar, they are related

[@sdominik3945]

NO WAY!!!

[@KANYEOMARIWESTOFFICAL]

@@sdominik3945 I KNOW RIGHT!!!1!1!1

[@kamixkazexkollie]

Thank you for sharing so many Pacific languages!

[@isaialeuila9327]

one sounds tongan influenced the other sounds samoan influenced its so interesting

[@nando_ugt]

The two islands were populated by ppl of Samoan descent. Then Tonga conquered 'Uvea during the 16th century, Futuna was next but they managed to push them off.

[@alamai7799]

​​@@nando_ugt Futuna didn't push them off they defeated the Tongans. As was the case for some of Tuvaluan islands that defeated Tongans who came to their shores around the 16th century. Uvea also eventually rebelled against Tonga free themselves

[@user-eq2rz7lk2g]

Because it has it own culture

[@user-eq2rz7lk2g]

Futuna aren't really from Samoa because they have really big differences

[@isaialeuila9327]

@@user-eq2rz7lk2g The Futunans say their ancestors are from Samoa and Tonga....They are not from there directly but if you trace their history and lineage , you will find, yes you guessed it, Samoan and Tongan roots

[@Davlavi]

very nicely done great quality video!

[@user-lb4lm9zq6d]

It's like 2 dialects of 1 language.

[@Palagiboi]

It's because all Polynesian languages are similar it's the same people

[@zsupanekosvathattila]

I love Polynesian languages and cultures

[@TheMoanaWay]

Wallisian had more Tongan influence and Futuna has more Samoan influence. So cool

[@LoulouFN]

maybe cause they are their ancestor ?

[@user-eq2rz7lk2g]

Only some word cause Samoa doesn't say ma'anu but kaele and it's has different dance and words and culture

[@user-eq2rz7lk2g]

Futuna it's way different from Samoa and they're not related

[@dalubwikaan161]

Oh my gosh! They are so similar. Are they dialects?

[@LoulouFN]

yes they are

[@kalanimaiokalani]

Because of their similarities, Uveans and Futunans can speak and understand each other 😊 🇼🇫

[@iceclyo2387]

This language is somewhat similar to the language of my tribe, the Sasak tribe, Indonesia - Lombok

[@kintetsubuffalo]

If Uvea settled Futuna 300~ years ago, that's actually quite a lot of shifts!

[@trufkenpiwke]

is the word "selo" (heaven) of Spanish origin? ("cielo" - heaven)

[@isaialeuila9327]

could be, because France colonized them

[@warennfnf2219]

On utilise le mot " Selo " qui vient du mot " Ciel " en français pour parler du paradis et quand on veut parler du ciel, alors on dira " Lagi "

[@isaialeuila9327]

@@warennfnf2219 can you say it in english lol

[@warennfnf2219]

@@isaialeuila9327 Yes, so we use the word Selō to talk about Heaven, which comes from Ciel : Sky in french And if we want to talk about Sky, we say Lagi

[@isaialeuila9327]

@@warennfnf2219 I see, makes sense. In tongan they translate heaven to Hevani whereas Samoa and other Polynesian languages use the traditional word "lagi"

[@maraluciaduclosduclos7496]

Hugs from Brazil. Wonderful vídeo.

[@darkdemian7747]

Can you do something about one popular constructed language "Ido"

[@jmjm1920]

'Uvea Futuna were part of Ancient Tongan Empire 90 percent of Villages named by Tongan Navigators since Lapita also Talietumu were built much earlier from stone wall 1400AD by Kau'ulufonua Fekai and temple mound Kolopelu erosion 😊

[@GrandM4R371-p5o]

No them names were already there😂 get your history together. Uveans say Tongans copied their culture same thing said with samoans and fijians.

[@jmjm1920]

Tonga Lapita Origin Settlement 😊

[@SKITNICA95]

basically same language

[@rizalsandy]

I think they have different dialects

[@khadidjaesperanza7078]

Walis and Futuna has 34 islands I counted,

[@sunstrikersunchild233]

Add tongan and samoan and niuafo'ou to that list..

[@AhTu1306]

Yeah I'd love to see this

[@DARUSTA254]

Similar to Samoan

[@LoulouFN]

Samoa is the ancestor of Futuna

[@leonardoschiavelli6478]

Just Futunan belongs to the Lima Gang... 😭

[@SiKedek]

Well, "nima" is close enough - [n] and [l] are easily switched across languages.

[@RicardoBaptista33]

Andy, you as a Filipina, can you understand some of the languages?

[@gachi1297]

Similarities I noticed as someone who speaks Tagalog, though I’m not sure if they’re all correct. In parentheses I put sounds I found similar between the words: da(lawa) = lua, first syllable has gone away (ta)t(lo) = tolu, final t has gone away lima = lima (an)im = ono, final i and m have gone away pito = fitu, p has changed to f walo = valu, w has changed to v (si)y(a)m = hiva, h has changed to s, y has changed to v, and final m has gone away (ta)t(ay) = tamai, second t has gone away cielo (derived from Spanish) = selo sala = agasala, prefix has been added amen (derived from Spanish) = amene Needless to say, there isn’t much shared vocabulary

[@Polynesian_crew]

@@gachi1297ep i mean we share common ancestors but it is so far that , we don’t uderstand eachother anymore but i noticed that some words will never change in austronesian language

[@DonTornado]
