Espiritu Santo languages

The Espiritu Santo languages, also called the Santo languages, are a group of North Vanuatu languages spoken on Espiritu Santo Island in northern Vanuatu. Classifications of the group vary: Darrell Tryon counted thirty three living languages and two extinct ones in 2010, while Alexandre Francois counted thirty eight in 2015, and John Lynch's 2019 classification divides them into West Santo, South Santo and East Santo groups within a proposed Nuclear Santo unit.
