Marau Wawa is an extinct language once spoken on Marau Island, off Makira in the Solomon Islands. (The island was actually named Wawa; marau just means "island".) The last speaker was old in 1919; the island had been abandoned after a raid some years earlier. The language may have been one of the Makira languages, but it was quite distinct.[1]
