Description

This series contains material from Erromanga Island, concentrating on the Erromanga (Sie-Ura), Ura, Utaha, and Sorung languages. It includes an incomplete paper and handwritten notes (the notes compiled by Capell) on word-building in Erromanga, typed papers on grammatical aspects of Erromanga, comparative vocabulary lists (Erromanga-English, Erromanga-Mewun), correspondence between Capell and John Lynch, notes on Erromangan culture compiled by Capell, and several draft papers by John Lynch.

The Republic of Vanuatu is an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean. The archipelago is located some 1,750 km east of Australia, 500 km north-east of New Caledonia, west of Fiji and south of the Solomon Islands. It was named New Hebrides during its colonial period.
