Kurti is an Oceanic Malayo-Polynesian language spoken by about 3,000 people on the north coast of Manus Island, one of the Admiralty Islands in Papua New Guinea.

This morning, Bob and I went to Ndrompuhnuu. We two dug kaukau and we made mountains. We made all the mountains, then we planted. Bob dug them too. He dug the ground and planted kaukau by watching how I did it. He did the same way and I saw him working and he worked good!
