Vanu Aroaroa

Vanu Aroaroa belongs to Pentecost, a mountainous island in northern Vanuatu. Apma is among the languages spoken in its central region, where gardens and settlements lie between the ridges and coast. In 1768 Louis Antoine de Bougainville sighted the island on Whitsunday and named it Pentecôte, a name later rendered as Pentecost.
