Niue Language
Week celebration:
Sunday 19 – Saturday 25 October.
The 2025 theme for Niue Language Week is 'Fakatapunu, Ofania, mo e Fakaaoga e Vagahau Niue! - Elevate, Cherish, and use Vagahau Niue!'
The Niue people have reached a crossroads where the status of the Vagahau Niue is considered most vulnerable.
Vagahau Niue has been registered with UNESCO as an endangered language, so one of the challenges we face is the preservation of Vagahau Niue and Niue culture. From MPP site.
