Haveke (also known as Aveke or 'Aveke) is a
Kanak language of
New Caledonia, in the commune of
Voh. Bwatoo dialect is distinct.
The language is considered endangered with 300 native speakers worldwide reported in 1982. That number gets lower due to the expansion of
French in New Caledonia. There are virtually no children speakers of Havake.
