Wale (also known as Pukapuka) is the main inhabited island on Pukapuka Atoll, with a population of about 660. There are three villages on the island: Yato (Leeward), Loto (Central - usually misspelled Roto) and Ngake (East). The traditional names for these villages are Takanumi, Kotipolo and Te Langaikula (respectively). In daily life, the islanders frequently call them Tiapani (Japan), Malike or Amelika (USA) and Olani (Holland) respectively. Especially in sports competitions between the villages, the villagers use the names and flags of these countries.
