Rotuma is located in the Southern Hemisphere. To the north of Rotuma is Tuvalu, to the east is Samoa, and to the south is Fiji. West of Rotuma is Vanuatu.

There are less than 3,000 people living on Rotuma. Many more of the population live on the Island Fiji.
There are only 3 languages that are spoken. Rotuman language and English and Fijian.
