	'''Wedge''' (''guejipaa'' [[Help:IPA\|{{IPA\|[gʷedʒipaː]}}]], <small>lit.</small> "our speech"), also called '''Wedgeman''' or '''Wedge Islander''', is a [[Language isolate\|language isolate]] native to the Wedge Islander people of Wedge Island (''Kairi'', ''Gueji‘o''). It is only natively spoken by around 30 Wedge Islanders, most of which live on [[Nawuhu\|Wuhu Island]]. It is a critically endangered language, though its use has increased in recent years, especially among members of the Wedge Islander diaspora. About 10 native Wedge speakers are members or founders of the "Friends of Wedge" (''Kairijilooni'') separatist paramilitary group. Friends of Wedge maintain a small regulatory body of three Friends of Wedge members called the ''Guejipaajiuguni'', "Guardians of our language". They also run Wedge language classes on both Wedge Island and Wuhu Island, though these classes have suffered recent extensive crackdowns in the midst of the ongoing Almondria-Mushroom War.

'''Wedge'''(''r'ouleyo'' [[Help:IPA|[ˈɾɐwleːo]]]) , also known as '''Wedgese''', '''Wedgian''', was a [[w:Polynesian languages|Polynesian]] language once spoken on Wedge Island. The language became extinct in 1977 with the death of R'oupipei, "The Younger".

==History==
===Decline===
The decline in Wedge native speakers began under Japanese occupation due to the authorities' aggressive attempts to expand existing colonies on the island.

The decline accelerated during American occupation, especially after the construction of the Wedge Golf Courses in 1969. Many natives were killed in the struggle for control, with the few remaining migrating to nearby Wuhu Island.

The language finally became extinct in 1977, with the death of ''R'oupipei'' "The Younger", who was also the last indigenous Wedge Islander to be born on the island itself.

===Modern===
Despite its death, the Wedge language has influenced the surrounding area greatly. Many Wedge loanwords exist in [[Nawuhu]] due to prolonged contact, to such an extent that some early explorers erroneously believed that Nawuhu was a Polynesian language like Wedge.
