Tolai Language Change

Tolai Language Change discusses interests and related topics in the changes in Kuanua language. Kuanua is the language of the Tolai people in East New Britain, Papua New Guinea. Some use the terms Tolai and Tinata Tuna instead of Kuanua. Besides church publications, there are no current publications in Kuanua to serve as current literature. Similar to the oral culture, today the language exist more in oral conversations and that is how the language is surviving.
