Aniwa Island

Aniwa is a small island in the southernmost province of Tafea, Vanuatu. It rises a mere 42 m above sea level.

Like the nearby West Futuna, it is a Polynesian outlier, and thus its inhabitants came from Samoa instead of the Melanesians of other nearby islands. The language of both islands is Futunan, in the Futunic branch of Nuclear Polynesian languages, though the dialects between the two islands are distinct.
