Mwotlap
The mwotlap is a language of Oral tradition, spoken in Mélanésie by approximately 1 800 people today. More precisely, its speakers live primarily in an officially known small island under the name of Motalava, in the group of the islands Banks, in the north of the Vanuatu.
Like all the other indigenous languages of this archipelago, the mwotlap belongs to the group of the Langues océaniennes, itself a branch of the big family of the Langues austronésiennes.
The mwotlap was not described for the first time in 2001, in the form of a thesis of linguistics.
