Tanema (Tetawo, Tetau) is a nearly extinct language of the island of Vanikoro in the easternmost province of the Solomon Islands. As of 2012, it is only spoken by one speaker, Lainol Nalo. It has been replaced by Teanu, the main language of Vanikoro.
Some information on Tanema, as well as on the two other languages of the island, can be found in François (2009).
