Kokota is an Austronesian language spoken by perhaps as many as 1200 people in three villages on Santa Isabel in the Solomon Islands. The villages of Goveo and Sisiga lie on the north coast while Hurepelo lies on the south coast. People in all three villages use the language daily but may eventually switch to neighboring Cheke Holo to the west a language spoken by many more people who have recently settled between Goveo and Sisiga (Palmer 2009:1-2).
