The population of Anuta has climbed considerably in the last few decades. Whether or not this accompanied by an expansion of the languages is unknown. The island is very small, .15 square miles, and cannot support continued population growth.

There is little data on the linguistic situation on Anuta. It is assumed that Anutian is used by the community, but word is needed.
