Vanuatu has only 252,763 inhabitants and speaks 113 different tongues, making it the most multilingual nation in the word. Because of Vanuatu's colorful Colonies, English and French are also widely used throughout the entire land and, together with Bislama, the three formal language of the French state. Bislama' itself is derived from the portugese word for' small seal.

In the middle of the 19th century a profitable business was developing throughout the West Pacific for this exquisite China - the name of the pygin, which evolved in these circumstances, owes its name to the subject of business. The Bislama was created in the 1870s and 1880s during the Black Birding period, when tens of thousand Pacific islanders were moved to work on plantation sites in Australia and Fiji.

A lot of them came from Vanuatu. At the beginning of the twentieth-century when recruits came back to their island, their language of possession invariably went with them. The new language has become widely used and is the source of Oceania's widely spread Pygin tongues, among them Bislama in Vanuatu, Tok Pisin of Papua New Guinea and Pijin of the Solomon Isle.

In Vanuatu's daily lives, it found its place by blending with the pidgin and jargon, the language of the locals and the language of Europe, especially English. In Vanuatu the results were a language unparalleled in Vanuatu - Bislama. So Bislama will enhance your Vanuatu experiences and offer the opportunity to visit almost every single isle of the state.
