Drehu language
Drehu ((); also known as Dehu,〔In missionary time〕 Lifou,〔In French〕 Lifu,〔In English〕 qene drehu〔Qene means language (literally "qe" : mouth, "ne" : of)〕) is an Austronesian language mostly spoken on Lifou Island, Loyalty Islands, New Caledonia. It has about twelve-thousand fluent speakers and the status of a French regional language. This status means that pupils can take it as an optional topic for the baccalauréat in New Caledonia itself or French mainland.〔Only five of the twenty-eight Kanak languages (in the 1999 Rapport Cerquilini or 40 according to the Académie des langues kanak) have this status: Drehu (island of Lifou), Nengone (island of Maré), A'jië (around Houaïlou), Paicĩ (around Poindimié) and Xaracuu (around Canala and Thio).
〕 It has been also taught at the Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (INALCO) in Paris since 1973 and at the (University of New Caledonia ) since 2000. As for other Kanak languages, Drehu is now regulated by the "Académie des langues kanak", officially founded in 2007.
There is also a respective register in Drehu, called ''qene miny''.〔As Maurice Leenhardt did ("Langues et dialectes de l'Austro Mélanésie" (1946), the Académie considers qene miny not only as a respective register but also a distinct language〕 In time past, this was used to speak to the chiefs (joxu). Today very few people still know and practice this language.
