Xârâcùù is a member of the Southern New Caledonian branch of Malayo-Polynesian language family. It is spoken by about 5,700 people in the south of the North Province of New Caledonia, particularly in and around the city of Canala, and in the municipalities of Canala, Thio and Boulouparis. The language is also known as Kanala or Canala.
The Xârâcùù alphabet was developed during the 1980s. Before then missionaries used the same system as Ajië to write Xârâcùù.
The language is taught in one primary school in Canala in two colleges in Thio and Canala.
