<b>Description:</b>
 
The South Efate language is a Nuclear Southern Oceanic language of the Malayo-Polynesian language family, spoken on the island of Éfaté in central Vanuatu. As of 2005, there are approximately 6,000 speakers who live in coastal villages from Pango to Eton. The language'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 The field recordings have been archived with Paradisec.
The classification of South Efate is unclear. Some classifications place it within the languages of southern Vanuatu and New Caledonian, and rather distant from the North Efate language; however, a 2008 analysis of the Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database places it in an Efate group that also includes North Efate.<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=2603223 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
