Data on the Vur\u00ebs language<\/h5>\n

Alternative names<\/strong>: Vureas – Vetumboso – Mosina<\/p>\n

This language should not be confused with Mwesen<\/a><\/em>, sometimes also known as <\/em>Mosina.<\/em><\/p>\n

Classification<\/strong>: Austronesian language family<\/a>, Oceanian languages.<\/p>\n

Certain sources (including the SIL\u2019s Ethnologue<\/em>, 16th ed.) consider <\/em>Mwesen<\/a> and Vur\u00ebs as two variants of one and the same language known as Mosina<\/em>.<\/p>\n

All the languages of Vanuatu, the country home to the world\u2019s largest linguistic diversity (110 languages for a population of around 200,000) belong to the same Oceanian branch of the Austronesian family. However, they do show a surprising diversity for languages belonging to the same family.<\/p>\n

For more on the linguistic diversity of Vanuatu, please refer to Alexandre Fran\u00e7ois\u2019 articles on the subject, available on the Sorosoro Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Geographic area<\/strong>: Vanuatu, Banks Islands, island of Vanua Lava. Mainly in the village of Vetuboso and in the surrounding hamlets. Vur\u00ebs is also spoken by members of other communities of the island, where it has become the dominant language.<\/p>\n

Map of the Banks and Torres Islands, Vanuatu \u00a9 Alexandre Fran\u00e7ois<\/p><\/div>\n

Number of speakers<\/strong>: Approximately 1,000 speakers, according to DoBes<\/em>. This figure rises if one considers that many people living on Vanua Lava (ca. 2,000) speak it, at least as a second language. Alexandre Fran\u00e7ois\u2019 estimate accounts for 2,000 speakers.<\/p>\n

Vitality & transmission<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Vur\u00ebs is the dominant language of Vanua Lava; its intergenerational transmission is guaranteed, and it is spoken by people from other communities. The young generations of Mwesen, for instance, have given up their ancestral language in favor of Vur\u00ebs. Thus Vur\u00ebs is currently a very vivacious language.<\/p>\n

However, like all the other languages of Vanua Lava, Vur\u00ebs hasn\u2019t been widely studied or documented so far. It is part of a documentation program led by DoBes and the HRELP. For more information, visit the DoBes<\/em><\/a> or the HRELP<\/em><\/a> <\/em>website.<\/p>\n
