context_page_description: Anejom̃ or Aneityum is an Oceanic language spoken by 900 people on Aneityum Island, Vanuatu. It is the only indigenous language of Aneityum.
context_section_description: The island of Aneityum is the southernmost inhabited island of the nation of Vanuatu.  It is closest to the islands of Tanna and Futuna.  The island's geographic location made Anejom̃ develop in isolation.  The first speakers of the language are believed to have lived on hillsides near coasts in order to access resources.  However, due to land degradation and population pressure, the speakers moved to the valleys.
