Tape language
[2] The original location was located in an area in Malakula, including the coast from Anuatakh to Lowinsinwei, the area between the Lowisinwei River valley, the eastern bank of the Brenwei River, and a mountain in the south known as Pwitarvere.This is shown in their language because although they lived along the coast, their descendants were not very knowledgeable or could not come up with a significant amount of terms related to the sea.For example, Tape does not contain any apicolabial consonants which is similar to the languages in the northeastern part of Malakua.[3] duimanTapelocationdui Tapeman location'Tape man'duimanelocoastdui eloman coast'coastal person'In many Oceanic languages, there is a distinction between indirect and direct possession of nouns.After counting to ten, one must add the word, isngel and dëmon before the numerals 1–9 to make teen numbers.
