Malekula Island in Vanuatu is the home of several culturally similar ethnic groups, including the Laus (or Small Nambas), Mewun, and Seniang. The languages, all Austronesian languages of the Malekula Coastal Sub-Group, are mutually unintelligible but some people are multilingual. Swidden horticulture provides the staple foods. Cash crops include copra, cocoa, and a small coffee crop. There is little else in terms of commercial activity.
