Marshallese is such a cool and unique sounding language! I'm glad to hear it's spoken by the majority Marshallese and hasn't been replaced with English over time
Thank you for featuring these beautiful languages! I am always amazed at how different languages from this region are - other places including Pohnpei, Yap, Kosrae, and Vanuatu! If anyone would like to know more about the Marshall Islands, I recommend poet Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner. Mahalo and mauruuru for all your videos!
can someone here explain why are the micronesian languages so different from the other austronesian branches? i can't seem to notice a lot of similarities except for the numbers and a word like "Atua" which probably means "God" (?)
Ithkuil language next? This language is made by John Quijada and Ithkuil is probably the most complicated but underrated language in the world. Here's a 6 word sentence example of ithkuil but romanized: "Aukkras êqutta ogvëuļa tnou'elkwa pal-lši augwaikštülnàmbu". Keep in mind this language has its own script. You can find more information about that language. Thank you 😀
I really want a video about Yapese languages. It's one of only 2 Austronesian languages with ejective consonants (the other one is Waima'a language in East Timor) and the only one with ejective fricatives.
2:02 - Wow, what a word!

I'm from Chuuk and in some parts of Chuuk they say different. Words like where I'm from we say limo for 5
Other Austronesian languages that don’t use “Lima” for 5???
Yes! Team Non-Lima!
Even though all three are derivatives of Lima 😅
Can you do one on the CHamoru language next!
