Lovono language : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lovono language
Lovono (''Vano'', ''Alavano'', ''Alavana'') is a nearly extinct language of the island of Vanikoro in the easternmost province of the Solomon Islands. As of 2012, it is only spoken by four speakers:〔(Homepage of the linguist A. François ) (LACITO-CNRS).〕 it has been replaced by the island’s dominant language, Teanu. Some information on Lovono, as well as on the two other languages of the island, can be found in . ==Name== The language name makes reference to an ancient village in the northwest of the island Banie.〔.〕 In the language Lovono, which was once the dominant one in that area, the village was called ''Alavana''. In Teanu, which is now the only language spoken by the modern population, the same village is called ''Lovono''. This language shift is reflected in the people’s preference to use the Teanu form (i.e. Lovono) both for the village name and for the ancient language that used to be associated with it. The same village – and hence the language – has been also spelled ''Whanou'' or ''Vano'' in the scientific literature, possibly reflecting an older pronunciation of the word.
