With a population of about 221,000,Vanuatu has 113 languages,which is a result of 3,000 years of immigration from many Pacific countries.There are three official languages:English,French,and Bislama.Bislama developed from South Pacific English,a simplified language that traders and other foreigners used it to communicate with speakers of the many local languages.
Most of the islands are mountainous and of volcanic origin.There are several active volcanoes in Vanuatu,including Yasur on the island of Tanna,one of the world's most accessible volcanoes.If you've ever fancied getting close to a volcano,here's your chance.
