Mota (island)
Mota (formerly ''Sugarloaf Island'') is an island in the Banks group of northern Vanuatu, with a population of about 700. Name The name ''Mota'' is an adaptation of the local name ''M̄ota'' . Cognates in other Torres-Banks languages include Mwotlap ''Am̄ot'' , Vera'a ''M̄ō'o'' , and Vurës ''M̄ot'' . They are all derived from a form *''mʷota'' in Proto-Torres-Banks, referring to the island. The form is possibly cognate with Proto-Polynesian * ''motu'' "island", from Proto-Oceanic ''*motus'' "broken off, detached". The same root is found in Mota Lava, the name of an island north of Mota ‒ etymologically, "big Mota". Geography Mota is located 18 km south of Mota Lava and 12 km east of Vanua Lava, the second-largest island in the Banks archipelago.

Mota is an Oceanic language spoken by about 750 people on Mota island, in the Banks Islands of Vanuatu. The language (named after the island) is one of the most conservative Torres–Banks languages, and the only one to keep its inherited five-vowel system intact while also preserving most final vowels.

Mota was used on Norfolk Island, in religious education; on other islands with different vernacular languages, it served as the language of liturgical prayers, hymns, and some other religious purposes. Elizabeth Fairburn Colenso translated religious material into the language. Robert Henry Codrington compiled the first dictionary of Mota (1896), and worked with George Sarawia and others to produce a large number of early publications in this language.
