Emae language

Today, only around 400 people speak Emae, mainly in Makatea and Tongamea, 250 more than in the 1960s - around 150 speakers[citation needed].Tongoan is small language no longer spoken on Emae located on the island of Tongoa.The second source came from a YouTube video of a VHS recording of a small congregation of Emae people singing a gospel song.[citation needed] Instead of using Emae the people were singing in Bislama, one of the official languages of Vanuatu.This presents another issue with the lack of documentation of Emae, as there are no audio recordings of the language.There isn’t any sign that Emae people have kept up with modern technology, or even radios, which would be a perfect domain to help the language spread and survive.
