TE ROTU TE KAU KAVA TAPU
The Liturgy
Diocese of Temotu

Tikopia is a small (2 sq. mi.) remote volcanic island, the southernmost of the Solomon Islands. It has a population of about 1200. The Tikopian language is spoken by more than 3000 people in the Diocese of Temotu in the Church of the Province of Melanesia. The language's significance derives in part from its being a Polynesian language spoken in Melanesia; linguists refer to it as a Samoic or Polynesian Outlier language. Some linguists believe Tikopia and Anuta, (spoken on the even smaller and more remote island of Anuta) to be dialects of the same language. The BBC recently featured Anuta in its From Our Own Correspondent program, noting that "Twice a day the sound of a conch shell summons the faithful to church. Or to put it another way, everyone. Individuals may backslide for the odd service but attendance is so good it would be the envy of any British vicar." The text reproduced here is from a 26-page booklet in both Tikopian and English. Tikopian is first (pages 1-10) followed by English (pages 13-26). The English text is identical to the preparatory and eucharistic prayers in A Melanesian English Prayer Book (1985) . |
