**List: Nguna Ministry the Bible ( the Bible ) Nguna: Efate... "Efate is the seat of the capital of the New Hebrides, a chain of some 80 islands stretching across 450 miles of the south Pacific. The islanders are predominantly Melanesian.   Polynesian tongues are spoken on only a few of the islands (i.e., Aniwa, Futuna, and Western Emae, and on tiny Mele and Fila along the western coast of Efate).   The Nguna language is spoken in several forms of Efate: Havannah Harbor, Erakor, and Pango dialects; Nguna (Nguna Proper); Epi (Livara dialect); Emae, or Three Hills Island (Sesake dialect in the eastern part); and Makura. The Efate dialects are spoken in all by about 3,500 islanders."--1000 Tongues, 1972   [Info only] Erakor Dialect "1866 Mark BFBS, Sydney Translated by Donald Morrison, a Presbyterian my."--1000 Tongues, 1972   [Info only] "1871 John BFBS, Auckland 1874 Genesis New South Wales Auxiliary BS Translated by James Cosh, Presbyterian."--1000 Tongues, 1972   [Info only] "1880 Acts NSW Auxiliary BS Translated by J.
