In 2002 there were about 7,500 speakers of Rotuman, which is also known as Rotunan or Rutuma. Rotuman was first written by French and English missionaries, who developed different spelling systems for the language. Today the system invented by the English Methodist missionary Reverend C. M. Churchward in the 1920s and 1930s is generally used. He also produced the "Rotuman Grammar and Dictionary".
