Ngatikese, or Sapwuahfik, is a Micronesian language originating on Sapwuahfik atoll, Federated States of Micronesia.[3] Of the 700 Ngatikese speakers, only about 450 live on Sapwuahfik.[4] It was previously considered a dialect of Pohnpeian, but is not particularly intelligible with that language. It is currently considered vulnerable.[4]
