Tonga has maintained its sovereignty and independence continuously since it was first visited by Europeans (Captain Cook). In May 1900, however, it became a protected state under a Treaty of Friendship with Great Britain. A British Consul, and no higher official, was established in Tonga, but the closer relationship with Britain lead to establishment of English as well as Tongan as an official language.

Your Tongan language only has a few native speakers (comparatively) and as these speakers expose themselves to the World Wide Web (which runs on the internet), they will see that the world seems to communicate both for business and information, in English.
