Wedge (guejipaa [gʷedʒipaː], lit. "our speech"), also called Wedgeman or Wedge Islander, is a 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 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 is an agglutinative, subject-verb-object language with two grammatical genders, masculine and feminine, and three grammatical numbers: singular, dual and plural.
