Vernacular language is the vehicle for expressing indigenous knowledge and social ties, and as such it is seen as having intrinsic value and worth knowing. Bislama is seen as encroaching on Malua, and as erasing traditional knowledge about kinship, places, the ecosystem, and skills. There is support for Malua-medium primary education.
