The Toyana languages

The Toyana languages form a genealogical group of languages comprised of a total of four languages: Kalean, Ni'ihau, Taupoese and Kahului-Kanau. They are spoken from the easternmost edge of the Cantalle Ocean in Kalea to the westernmost edge in Kahului-Kanau. The most prominent languages, in numbers of speakers, are Kalean and Taupoese. Ni'ihau is closest to Kalean while Taupoese is the furthest. Kahului-Kanau, while the furthest geographically, is still very similar to Kalean.
