With a population of less than 300,000, this island nation is home to an extraordinary number of languages – 138 to be exact.
Across the 83 islands that make up Vanuatu, language is more than communication – it’s identity. These languages have evolved over more than 3,000 years since the first settlement of the archipelago and play a central role in Vanuatu’s vibrant culture and traditions.
Vanuatu offers travellers something truly unique – not just stunning landscapes, but a living, breathing tapestry of language and culture.
