Ninde language
Ninde, or Labo (also ''Nide, Meaun, Mewun'') is an Oceanic language spoken by about 1,100 people in the Southwest Bay area of Malekula island, in Vanuatu.
One unusual feature is that it has both a voiced and a voiceless bilabial trill.〔(LINGUIST List 8.45: Bilabial trill ). Linguistlist.org. Retrieved on 2010-12-08.〕
==In popular culture==
In an episode of the British television programme ''An Idiot Abroad'', Karl Pilkington meets the son of the chief, who comments upon the Ninde language. He explains that “all the words of Ninde begin with /n/”, such as the word ''nimdimdip'' for palm tree, ''naho'' for fruit, or ''nuhuli'' for leaf. They then visit the grave of a woman who was named Nicola.
However, this general statement is actually not true. The only words of Ninde that start with /n/ are the inanimate common nouns of the language; the /n/ reflects an old nominal article which has been fused to the radical of these common nouns. As for the name ''Nicola'', which is a borrowed European name, it cannot be taken as representative of the Ninde language.
