Spoken in Vanuatu?

[Karch]

No.

[bradrn]

Well, is it at least spoken in Melanesia?

[Karch]

Yes.

[Moose-tache]

[Travis B.]

Maybe Karch should be forbidden from playing this game, since they are almost never timely in answering questions...

[Pabappa]

i decided to just look up the answer, so i can answer the questions for now ... yes to being Oceanic, and no to the other questions.

[Frislander]

Micronesian?

[bradrn]

Specifically, Chuukic-Pohnpeic?

[Karch]

It isn't Micronesian, Admiralty Islands nor is it a Futunic language. It however is Oceanic.

[Frislander]

Vanuatu?

[Karch]

No.
