Samoan (Gagana fa'a Sāmoa) is a Polynesian language of the Austronesian family, official in Samoa and American Samoa. About 510,000 people speak it, including large diaspora communities in New Zealand, Australia and California. It is closely related to Tongan, Hawaiian and Māori, and is one of the most widely spoken Polynesian languages along with Māori.
Samoan uses VSO word order and an ergative-absolutive system: the subject of a transitive verb takes the particle 'e' (Ua 'ai e le teine le i'a 'The girl ate the fish'). It has inclusive vs exclusive 'we' and four numbers (singular, dual, paucal, plural). Distinctive 'tautala lelei' (formal 'good speech') uses 't' and 'n', while 'tautala leaga' (colloquial speech) replaces them with 'k' and 'ng'.
