Big Nambas (native name V’ənen Taut) is a Malayo-Polynesian language spoken by about 1800 people (as of 1983) in northwest Malekula Vanuatu. Approximately nineteen villages in the Big Nambas region of the Malekula Interior use the language exclusively with no variation in dialect. It was studied in-depth over a period of about 10 years by missionary G. J. Fox who published a grammar and dictionary in 1979.
