As of 2005, there are approximately 6,000 speakers who live in coastal villages from Pango to Eton. The language&#039;s grammar has been described by Nick Thieberger, who is working on a book of stories and dictionary of the language. The field recordings have been archived with Paradisec.<br /> South Efate is closely related to Ngunese and to Lelepa. A 2008 analysis of the Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database(based purely on a small set of vocabulary items) places it in an Efate group that also includes North Efate. Based on certain shared features with southern Vanuatu languages (including echo-subject marking and a free form and preposed 1st singular possessive form), Lynch (2001) suggests it could form part of a southern Vanuatu subgroup which includes New Caledonia.<br /> Anon. 1868.
