Anuki language

The Anuki language is an Austronesian language spoken by the Gabobora people along Cape Vogel in the Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea.

In sport the Anuki field teams in volleyball, netball (a kind of basketball), and football (soccer) for local competition.Church activities fill the weekly calendar.

Their church services are conducted in regional languages as well as English, with announcements and lay comments in Anuki.

However, they lack Anuki Scriptures in the church context.

Priests and lay leaders alike have expressed the desire to have God's Word in the Anuki language.

Outside sources have noted them to be "very interested" in having such a translation.The Anuki community has produced three illustrated short-story booklets by Gabobora authors, all penned in the Anuki language, and a small hymn book of Anuki choruses.

Through VITAL the Anuki translation team has started working on a dictionary.

The Anuki people only use Anuki numbers as far as five.

Anuki is an endangered d language spoken by about 600 speakers in the north coast of Cape Vogel, Milne Bay province, Papua New Guinea.
