Iaai is the sixth-most-spoken language of New Caledonia, with 4078 speakers as of 2009.〔Dotte 2012.〕 It is taught in schools in an effort to preserve it. The main sources of information about the language of Iaai are the various publications by the linguist Françoise Ozanne-Rivierre, from LACITO–CNRS. ==Phonology== Iaai is remarkable for its large inventory of unusual phonemes,〔The main sources about the phonology of Iaai are Ozanne-Rivierre (1976); Maddieson and Anderson (1994).〕 in particular its consonants, with a rich variety of voiceless nasals and approximants. It may be the only language in the world to possess a voiceless retroflex nasal.
