The official languages of Tonga are Tongan, a Polynesian language, and English.

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.
