Nume (also called Gog and Tarasag) is an Oceanic language spoken on Gaua island in Vanuatu. Its 700 speakers live on the northeast coast of Gaua.[1]
Nume is a distinct language from its immediate southern neighbors, Mwerlap and Dorig.[2]
The name Nume originates in the name of a village, now abandoned. Tarasag is currently the community's main village. The alternate name Gog refers to the broader area, and by extension, to the island.
Nume has 15 consonant phonemes.[3]
Nume has 7 phonemic vowels, which are all short monophthongs.[4]
The system of personal pronouns in Nume contrasts clusivity, and distinguishes four numbers (singular, dual, trial, plural).[5]
Spatial reference in Nume is based on a system of geocentric (absolute) directionals, which is typical of Oceanic languages.[6]
