"And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
Acts 2:1-4

While working as a schoolteacher on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu in 2007-2008, I embarked on a project to document the island's many tiny native languages, some of which had hardly been written down before.
This web site contains some of the results of this research, as well as links to other information on these languages...
Bislama (Pidgin) - Vanuatu's national language
Raga (Hano) - the language of North Pentecost
Apma - the language of Central Pentecost
Sowa - an extinct language of southern Pentecost
Ske - a small language of south-western Pentecost
Sa - the language of South Pentecost
A guide and phrasebook covering all Pentecost's languages is currently in production. If you are interested in this book, please contact me.
Any money raised through this book and web site will be used to help education on Pentecost Island.
