Mota is an Oceanic language spoken by about 750 people on Mota island, in the Banks Islands of Vanuatu. During the period 1840-1940, Mota was used as a missionary lingua franca throughout areas of Oceania included in the Melanesian Mission, an Anglican missionary agency. Mota was used on Norfolk Island, in religious education; on other islands with different vernacular languages, it served as the language of liturgical prayers, hymns, and some other religious purposes. O Sala Ususur was a bi-annual diocesan chronicle circulated amongst the islands of Melanesia. It was superseded by Melanesian Messenger..
