+'''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 closest language to Wallisian is Niuafo'ou. It is also closely related to Tongan, though part of the Samoic branch, and has borrowed extensively from Tongan due to the Tongan invasion of the island in the 15th and 16th centuries. Uvea was settled about 3,000 years ago. <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''' 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>
