About

Sakao, locally known as Lathi or Laðhi, is an uninhabited island in Vanuatu. It is located off the northeastern shore of Vanuatu's largest island Espiritu Santo in Sanma Province, and off the southeastern shore of Vanuatu's second-largest island, Malakula. The island has given its name to the Sakao language, spoken in the nearby area of Port-Olry.
