	Terry Crowley (University of Waikato), Moribund languages of northern Malakula (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The island of Malakula, the second largest island in the Republic of Vanuatu in the southwestern Pacific, currently holds over two dozen separate Oceanic languages spoken by a population of under 30,000 in total.
		In spite of this linguistic diversity, however, the original number of languages is thought to have been much higher, possibly one third of them having become lost or moribund due to contact with European labor recruiters, traders, and missionaries in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
		Crowley will survey the central and northern areas of Malakula in order to locate the remaining speakers of these three moribund languages, and to record as much linguistic data as possible from these speakers.
