Documented Neku (New Caledonia) — ANLHE Original Language Encyclopedia & 90-Lesson Research Guide
Historical linguistics and documentary research: original evidence, community contributors, phonology, lexical knowledge and ninety individually numbered study objectives.
1. Classification, geographic identity and dated source history
Neku is a Southern Oceanic Kanak language in New Caledonia, grouped by the Kanak Language Academy within the Ajië-Arhö customary-language area. It is not a different spelling for Ajië or Arhö. The Academy’s Neku page reports 125 speakers above fourteen in the ISEE 2009 census and provides an original vocabulary list of common plants collected in 2012. Prosper Poédi recorded the lexicon with Jacques Sanon, preserving an explicitly credited Indigenous contributor. The list is a valuable lexical witness but should not be described as a full reference grammar. These counts and publication dates are historical documentary observations; no current speaker figure is inferred from them. A language cannot be dated to its first printed reference.
2. Writing and phonological notation
The 2012 Neku plant list uses original Roman spelling with diacritics, e.g. Mèèxa, Wârè and Kwijèi. These forms are direct documentary evidence of lexical orthography, not examples of an ancient indigenous script. Do not silently replace the accents or import the sound inventory of Sîshëë. Original word forms and diacritics should be preserved exactly in any quotation. A contemporary scholarly transcription is not an independent historical writing system, and complete phoneme inventories cannot be inferred from a short word list.
3. Authentic lexical and grammatical research
The original plant names are source-attested: Mui ‘yam’, Mwa ‘taro’, Maniöke ‘cassava’, Kumara ‘sweet potato’, Guâ ‘coconut tree’, Kwijèi ‘banana tree’, Wârè ‘sugar cane’, Uru owî ‘conifer’ and Mèèxa ‘Kanak cabbage’. Lexical morphology, compounds and noun-phrase expression need source-specific further investigation rather than invented grammatical structures. Never substitute linguistic examples from a nearby Kanak language. Where morphology or syntax has not been documented in the accessible source, it is treated as a research goal, not an asserted fact.
4. Original source and named academic evidence
Académie des Langues Kanak, Neku language page (ISEE 2009, 125 speakers over 14); Plantes courantes en neku (2012), recorded by Prosper Poédi from Jacques Sanon, nine named plant lexemes.
Original documented source words and text titles are identified separately from modern scholarly interpretations. A full sentence quotation requires a specific authentic recording, manuscript or numbered published example.
5. Reading an authentic word or short original text
Identify the speaker, language variety, collector, date and primary source. Copy the original form with every accent, word boundary and punctuation mark. Compare source glosses and their context before attributing word classes or grammatical categories. If a comparable item appears in another language, the similarity is an observation, not automatic proof of direct inheritance.
6. Social heritage and community documentation
Kanak linguistic archives reflect traditional environments, families, food gardens, local storytelling, education and cooperation with Indigenous knowledge holders. The role of community experts such as Jacques Sanon and research collectors such as Prosper Poédi should be stated where their participation is documented. Do not infer the community’s full cultural identity from a short lexicon.
7. Reliability, limitations and preservation context
Arhâ, Arhö, ‘Ôrôê, Neku and Sîshëë are separately named and institutionally recognized language traditions within the Ajië-Arhö region. Historical census data require dates, and missing sound tables or example sentences must not be filled with plausible inventions. The goal is to facilitate verifiable future documentation and education.
