Ah Oka(‘ā ōka [ʔaː o̞ːka]) is a Sinatolean Hauhau language spoken on Ka Oka(kā ōka) island in the Nelahgan Islands. It is the most spoken descendant of the ancient Hau-Hau language, which was the first Sinatolean language branch to diverge with the arrival of the T'pu Hau people on the Pukahau Archipelago of the Nelahgans.
