The new programme will begin in Semester 1, 2019 with the course TG111 titled Tongan and Niuafo’ou 1.
Niuafo’ou is an island in Tonga and its language, although widely understood by most Tongans outside the island, it was recognised as the Niuafo’ouan dialect. Some linguists have classified it as closest to ʻUvean and Tokelauan, in an East Uvean–Niuafo’ou branch
There was a total of 60 courses of which one will be offered every semester and during the summer flexi schools.
