The Uneapa (or Bali) language is natively spoken on this island. In the local language, it is called Uniapa or Uneapa. The term Unea comes from the Vitu language, and they descend from a proto-form *Uneap or *Uniap, reflecting the addition of an echo vowel in Uneapa and the regular loss of final consonants in Vitu.
