Its population – today about 700 people – speak the Mota language, which Christian missionaries of the Anglican Church used as a lingua franca in parts of Melanesia. Name The name ''Mota'' is an adaptation of the local name ''M̄ota'' . Cognates in other Torres-Banks languages include Mwotlap ''Am̄ot'' , Vera'a ''M̄ō'o'' , and Vurës ''M̄ot'' . They are all derived from a form *''mʷota'' in Proto-Torres-Banks, referring to the island. The form is possibly cognate with Proto-Polynesian * ''motu'' "island", from Proto-Oceanic ''*motus'' "broken off, detached".

Ixnay On The Hombre
''Ixnay on the Hombre'' is the fourth studio album by American rock band the Offspring, released on February 4, 1997, by Columbia Records, as the band's first album on the label.

The title combines Pig Latin (" Ixnay" is the version of the word " nix", familiar in 1940s Hollywood movies) and Spanish (" hombre", "man") to convey the message "fuck The Man", as in "fuck authority". ''Ixnay on the Hombre'' was a moderate commercial success upon its release, debuting at number nine on the US ''Billboard'' 200, and was well received by both critics and fans. It was later certified platinum by the RIAA for shipments of over one million copies in the United States, and has sold over three million copies worldwide.
