The Tiang language also known as Djaul is a language spoken in Papua New Guinea.[3]
Overview
It is spoken on Dyaul Island and in 1972 there were 790 speakers reported by Beaumont.[3] On that island Tigak and Tok Pisin are also spoken. Tigak is predominant on the northern half of the island and Tiang on the southern half.[4] The former may be related closely to Tiang. It is also spoken on some other nearby areas in New Ireland Province. The language has a subject-verb-object structure order.[3] The people that speak this language are swidden agriculturalists.[3] There is very little data available for this language.[5]
