1. Community identity and geography

Teanu (Puma) is historically documented in Vanikoro island, Temotu Province, Solomon Islands, and its ISO 639-3 code is tkw. Distinguish language, local variety, catalog name and historical speaker record.

2. Scholarship and language history

Teanu, also called Puma or Buma, is the main indigenous language spoken on Vanikoro in the research period. Alexandre François’s field visits to Paeu, Lovoko, Temwo and Lale produced the 2021 online Teanu–English dictionary including correspondences in Lovono and Tanema. Community histories, word meanings and speaker estimates in a source must remain tied to the recorded period, not assumed to be current.

3. Writing and sound systems

Field orthography, comparative transcription, individual source diacritics, modern community spelling and actual recorded speech must be kept distinct. Historical romanization is not an ancient native script. Learning accurate pronunciations requires an independently verified source.

4. Authentic grammar and original-language syntax

François compares the three Vanikoro languages and finds that despite similar grammatical structures they can have very different forms. The 2021 dictionary identifies Teanu orthography and lexical context, while the pronominal prefixes differ among the languages. Original full-sentence data should be quoted with their appropriate source and not transformed into invented conversational examples.

5. Small source-attributed examples

• En’ na dameliko tae, ene na ka mwaliko pine.: Source-attested Teanu example glossed ‘I’m not a child, I’m an adult now!’

These are carefully delimited archival forms or labeled catalogue metadata, not a complete phrasebook. Original forms cannot be combined into invented novel sentences.

6. Community interpretation and heritage

Consider coastal and island knowledge, place names, community mobility, education, oral narrative and regional language contact only where a dated archival or community source supports the interpretation. Credit individual speakers and respect restrictions on recordings.
