[edit] [view] Uovpan Atlatikahe (Erebus Atlatikae)Uovpan Atlatikahe is spoken by less than 100 people who live at the base of Mount Erebus in the McMurdo Sound. Erebus Atlatikae is much closer to Old Atlatikae, so most religious songs are in the dialect. People who live at the base of the mountain are considered holy and lead Faheb Wajutfeg (Coming of Age Ceremony). Almost all people who live near the mountain can speak Standard Atlatikae and use it to communicate with people from the main village.
