The official languages of Tonga are Tongan and English. Tongan is spoken by nearly everyone and used in everyday life, culture, and traditional ceremonies. English is taught in schools and used in government, business, and international communication. Tongan belongs to the Polynesian language family and has close ties to Samoan and Maori. Most Tongans are fluent in both Tongan and English. The Tongan language reflects the country’s strong sense of heritage and community. Its rhythmic and melodic sound carries the warmth and pride of island life.
