Nese is a moribund Oceanic language or dialect known by no more than twenty people in the area of the northwest tip of the island of Malakula in Vanuatu. It is now rarely spoken, having been replaced as a primary mode of communication by Bislama.
Nese is one of the few languages to have linguolabial consonants.
