Though its traditional cultural background has been disrupted by one century of dual European influence, a hundred Melanesian languages, a national pidgin and two colonial languages keep on coexisting eighteen years after independence. This diversity has not resulted in a classical patchwork but in an intricate geographical system in which identity is a changing linguistic and cultural combination.
