Raga belongs to the East Vanuatu languages , a branch of the Austronesian languages family. In old sources the language is sometimes referred to by the names of villages in which it is spoken, such as Bwatvenua Qatvenua , Lamalanga, Vunmarama and Loltong. With an estimated 6,500 native speakers in the year 2000 , Raga is the second most widely spoken of Pentecost s five native languages after Apma language Apma , and the seventh largest vernacular in Vanuatu as a whole. There are significant communities of Raga speakers on Maewo island and in Port Vila and Luganville as a result of emigration from Pentecost. The Raga spoken by most people today is heavily mixed with Bislama , Vanuatu s national language. The Turaga nation Turaga indigenous movement , based at Lavatmanggemu in north eastern Pentecost, have attempted to purge the language of foreign influences by coining or rediscovering native words for introduced concepts such as torch battery vat bongbongi , literally night stones and hour ngguha , literally movement . Members of the Turaga movement write in Raga language using Avoiuli , a unique writing system inspired by local sand drawings. Raga is generally considered an easy language to speak and learn, and is known as a second language by a number of speakers of other Vanuatu languages. Modern Raga is relatively homogeneous, with no significant dialectal variation. A distinctive southern dialect of Raga, Nggasai , is now extinct its last native speaker died in 1999.
