'''Wallisian, or ʻUvean'''
*It 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 closest language to Wallisian is Niuafo'ou.
*It is also closely related to Tongan, though part of the Samoic branch, and has borrowed from Tongan due to the Tongan invasion of the island in the 15th and 16th centuries.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Wallisian language," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallisian_language, accessed 28 Jun 2021.</ref>
'''Futunan or Futunian'''
*It 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.
*The language is closely related to other Western Polynesian languages, Fagauvea, Wallisian, Tongan, Samoan, Tokelau, and Niuafo’ou.
*This language is a member of the diminishing set of native Pacific languages, it is classified as endangered. <ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Futunan language," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futunan_language, accessed 28 Jun 2021.</ref>

The letters w and k are rarely used except in loanwords and regional words. The phoneme /w/ sound is usually written ou; the /k/ sound is usually written c anywhere but before e, i, y, qu before e, i, y, and sometimes que at the ends of words. However, k is common in the metric prefix kilo- (originally from Greek χίλια ''khilia'' "a thousand"): ''kilogramme, kilomètre, kilowatt, kilohertz,'' etc.
