Tags: Language.
The Tolai language or Kuanua is spoken by the Tolai people of Papua New Guinea who live on the Gazelle Peninsula in East New Britain Province. (This language is often referred to in the literature as Tolai. However Tolai is actually the name of the cultural group. The Tolais themselves refer to their language as a tinata tuna which translates as the real language. Kuanua is apparently a word in Ramoaaina meaning the place over there.)
