Aese (also: Aessi , Haiite , Île Aessi , Île Aïs , Île Aisse , Île Haïce ) is a private island in the New Hebrides . It is located off the east coast of Espiritu Santo and belongs to the province of Sanma in the island state of Vanuatu .
geography
The island stretches along the east coast of Espiritu Santo and is thought to have arisen from a former fringing reef together with the neighboring Mavea to the north . A headland ( Palikulo Point ) joins to the south , which includes Palikulo Bay . Saraotou is located opposite Aese . The island was inhabited earlier. Today it is in private hands and uninhabited.
history
Around 1906 there were still 700 people living on the island. In 1914 and 1915, the British ethnologist John Layard lived on the small islands off Malakula. He brought back over 400 photo plates and wax rolls with sound recordings from his field research . Originals and copies of the documents are in the Museum of Archeology and Anthropology, University of Cambridge .
linguistics
In addition to the Creole language Bislama , over 20 different, independent languages are spoken on Malakula and the islands.
