Engdewu, also known as Nanggu or Nagu, is one of two Reefs – Santa Cruz languages spoken on Nendö Island (the other is Santa Cruz).
The language used to be known by outsiders as Nanggu (Engdewu pronunciation: [naᵑɡu]), from the name of one of the villages where it is still spoken.
The local population prefers to name the language Engdewu, after the name of the ancient village where it was initially spoken.
[1] A description of the language was produced in 2013 by linguist Anders Vaa.
