Tangga is anOceanic language ofNew Ireland, spoken onTanga andFeni islands and in Sena, Muliama and Varangansau villages in the Tanglamet area ofNamatanai of New Ireland itself. These three locations are highly divergent; children from one understand little to nothing of the others, and adults consider them to be distinct languages, though they recognize their common history of their migration fromTanga andFeni to New Ireland.[3]
