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