The Sikule language (also called Sibigo, Sigulai, Ageumeui, or Wali Banuah) is spoken on Simeulue island off the western coast of Sumatra in Indonesia.[3]
Sikule is spoken in Alafan district, on the western end of Simeulue island. It is apparently related to the Nias language.[4] Ethnologue lists Lekon and Tapah as dialects.[1]
