Name
The name Sola [sola] comes from the Mota language, which was used as the primary language of the Melanesian Mission. Locally, the island is called Sol [sɔl] in Vurës, and Asol [aˈsɔl] (with locative prefix a-) in the immigrant Mwotlap language. All of these terms come from a Proto-Torres-Banks form *sola.
Transportation
