Mwerlap language
Mwerlap is an Oceanic language spoken in the south of the Banks Islands in Vanuatu.
Its 1100 speakers live mostly in Merelava and Merig, but a fair proportion have also settled the east coast of Gaua island.〔François (2012: 97).〕 Besides, a number of Mwerlap speakers live in the two cities of Vanuatu, Port Vila and Luganville.
