Label

Label is a small Oceanic language spoken on New Ireland in Papua New Guinea. It is one of many Meso-Melanesian languages spoken on the island. The Label language is largely spoken on the south west of the island in a small pocket of space. It is not known to be spoken in any significant way outside of Papua New Guinea.

There are few speakers of the language, and is thus, endangered. Estimates vary between 140 (from a 1979 survey), up to 500 speakers. In 2005, the language was considered to be on the brink of extinction by som, with about 300 speakers.
