Asumbuo (Asubuo in local orthography; Asumboa or Asuboa in some sources) is a nearly extinct language spoken on the island of Utupua, in the easternmost province of the Solomon Islands. [2]
Affiliation
Like the two other languages of Utupua ( Tanimbili and Amba), Asumbuo belongs to the Temotu subgroup of the Oceanic family, itself part of the Austronesian phylum.
Language vitality
With only about 10 speakers, [1] Asumbuo is a highly endangered language. Together with its neighbour Tanimbili, it is currently being replaced by Amba (or Nebao), the main language of Utupua.
