Námofelá is the third largest island in the Republic of Soigá, at around 124 square km. However, it has a low population of around 1,700 inhabitants and thus a quite low population density of not more than 13.5 people per sq km. Námofelá is small, but has been in contemporary history important for Soigá. Spain has controlled this island, and the island is known for its nearly half Spanish and half Soigan population. It is also known for its Namofellan dialect, spoken by the Soigans living in Námofelá, a small dialect not spoken by more than a few hundred people often known as to be "alien".
