What languages are spoken in Norfolk island?

The primary languages spoken in Norfolk Island are:

* Norfuk - This is a unique creole language that combines elements of 18th-century English with Tahitian and Polynesian influences. It is the official language of Norfolk Island.

* English - While Norfuk is the official language, English is widely spoken and understood. It is used in education, government, and most commercial settings.

It's also worth noting that a small number of residents speak:

* Pitkern - This is a language spoken on Pitcairn Island and is closely related to Norfuk.

* Other Pacific languages - There is a small community of people from other Pacific Islands who may speak languages like Tuvaluan or Fijian.

So while Norfuk is the dominant language, English plays a significant role in the daily life of Norfolk Islanders.
