Tangoa language

Tangoa, or Leon Tatagoa, is an Oceanic language spoken on Tangoa Island, south of Espiritu Santo Island in Vanuatu. The community was an early settlement for Christian missionaries, leading to its use as a lingua franca in the area, having largely displaced the moribund Araki language spoken on Araki Island.

Name
The name Tangoa is an endonym. In neighboring Araki, it is known as R̄ango.

Characteristics
Tangoa is one of the few in the world possessing a set of linguolabial consonants.
