@@MikeV8652 It certainly is. What I would like to know is why whatever missionary it was that created the written Kiribati language chose to represent the sound "s" with the letters "ti".
@@erikwahlstrom976 the story goes like this: the man who translated the bible had a broken 's' key on his typewriter. So because depending on dialect 'tu' can sometimes be said as 'su', he decided that 'ti' could be 'si'. Later, after he received a new typewriter, he changed all word in the bible referring to jesus with a 'ti' ( or tu which can make an s sound too) to be spelled with an 's'. That's why its iesu ( jesus) and not ietu. I hope that made sense! TL;DR a broken s key on a typewriter is responsible.
Ake tarawakatoa Thanks! You're right. It's my mistake there. Now I've corrected it. I'm just surprised that this old comment has got some attention. :)
Lol my homeboy Kenneth Kaunda talked him down from it. Kenneth Kaunda was the first president of my favorite country, Zambia. Looks like old leaders are great friends.
I went to a highschool which had a "sister school" in Kiribati, every year either a group of our students would go up there for a few weeks or a group of theirs would come to ours. It was awesome.
- "Kiribati is the only country in the world across 4 hemispheres" - "Hééééé techniquement, si vous incluez mon territoire d'outre-mer..." - "OH MY... JUST FRANCE, LET THEM HAVE THIS ONE" XD ok for this time ;)
Technically the UK does too - Great Britain straddles the meridian (by definition it passes through Greewich) putting it in both Western and Eastern hemispheres, GB is in the Northern hemisphere and places like the Falklands and St Helena are in the Southern Hemisphere
I’m from a small island just outside of Chuuk lagoon. In my culture, we have a lot of different ainang (clans/family/origins). The name of my ainang is Sopunipi in case anyone wanted to know lol. Anyways, there is an ainang called Tarawa and it comes from Tarawa, Kiribati. I know one of my uncle’s family has its origins in Kiribati. On my island, we have a fish that you catch from the deep parts of the ocean. It’s a very oily fish that will make you poop orange oil if you eat too much lol. Well people from Kiribati (I was told they were exiles) came and taught my people how to catch it. They called it _te ika ni beka_ (the fish of poop) Which is why the name of it in my language is _teikanepek_ .
I am from Kiribati. Well I live in New Zealand born and raised here but I identify myself as Ikiribati! Such an awesome thing to see my country and my people being put into a video!
Kiribati is so awesome! Just imagine how uniquely cool and weird would it be to actually live there. I think you chose the absolute perfect final words of conclusion. Love to all nations worldwide currently from my room in Latvia.
I’ve been to Latvia, LOVED IT!!! I’ve also been to Kiribati for 3 weeks doing volunteer dentistry. It was quite miserable. What the pictures don’t show is the HEAT. Life on the equator is hard.
The prime meridian divides the earth into west and east hemisphere, so any country it passes through will have a portion in each hemisphere, for example England. The equator divides the world into north and south hemisphere, so any country through which the equator passes would have a portion in each hemisphere, for example brazil. This country Kiribati is perhaps the only country on earth through which both the prime meridian and the equator pass through, hence it lies in the north and south hemisphere due to the equator and east and west hemisphere due to the prime meridian. Hence, it lies in all 4 hemispheres.
For those who are interested in Gilbertese (Kiribati/taetae ni Kiribati): /t/ is lenited and assibilated before /i/. So /ti/ is pronounced as [si]. As Barby already said, the name Kiribati comes from Gilberts and since the language lacks a lot of English consonants, they had to substitute some parts to make the name fit the phonological and phonotactical constraints. /g/ > /k/, /ɪ/ > /i/, /l/ > /ɾ/, /b/ > /p/, /ɚ/ > /a/, /ts/ > /s/ and /ɾ/ isn't allowed at the end of a syllable so an /i/ is added (while the /i/ at the end isn't actually pronounced): [gɪlbɚts] becomes [kiɾipas]
@@killersg.8290 According to the Wikipedia page for the Gilbertese language, /p/ tends to become voiced between vowels and sometimes at the beginning of words too. When voiced, the /p/-sound becomes [b]. If that's the most common way that that sound gets expressed, it makes sense to transcribe it as . As to why it isn't simply analyzed as /b/ to begin with, I don't know enough about Gilbertese to say. I suspect it may be a way of maintaining consistency, since all the other stop consonants in Gilbertese are voiceless.
We have I-Kiribati people in the Solomon Islands. They emigrated to the Solomons in the early 1950's due to population pressure and increasing climate change. Their numbers constitute 2% of the country's total population.
Kiribati has possibly the coolest flag in the world. I did a presentation in year 8 SOSE when we investigated the Pacific Islands, and it was amazing the fact that, despite them using the AUD, and us giving them lots of aid, I had never heard of Kiribati. I made sure I learned about it, because it is such a cool country to learn about.
Who would have thought geography would be so exciting?! Thank you for sparking into flame a new desire to learn more about the islands around me 🇵🇼 🤗🥰⭐

I loved Kiribati when I was a child just because I thought their flag was so cool :v and everyone around me was like "whats up with that flag you're drawing? wat? Kiribati? wtf is a 'Kiribati'? u crazy? lulz" :v
Same with me, I love drawing a lot of flags even hisoric like USSR and every friend ask me wat is that?I say the country flag and he responds I am crazy!I feel you why don't they just mind their own business!Btw I am from Bosnia and Herzegovina!Change our flag it is boring!I drew it myself and it looks pretty cool,it looks like this:diagonal colors of green,white and blue and emblem in the middle(golden lily,with crown on top and feathers sorounding it).
For our (Kiribati flag) it has a meaning. The frigate bird indicates that we are voyagers/travellers and that we are an independent nation. The sun waves/flames are 33 in number ( showing the Number of atolls in Kiribati) and the 3 blue/white waves indicate the 3 main island chains explained in the video. What the color indicates is unknown to me, but some say they used the red blue and white to show respect to Great Britain, and the yellow is just a Kiribati addition.
While English orthography is archaic and often just stupidly illogical Gilbertese orthography is straightforward and everything (except for /t/ before /i/) is pronounced as it is written.

I love all your videos and this one really caught my interest. I appreciate all the time you and your team put in to doing your research. I was also fascinated with the fact that 9% of the Kilibris population is Mormon. I watched this video twice to make sure I heard correctly. I love the fact that you respect not only other cultures, but religions as well. It’s impressive and I have a new respect for all the countries you have covered so far. Keep up the great work!
@Geography Now, Thank you! This the most info about Kiribati I've heard in 5 years, after learning of its existence. That is not too America-centric. You get my 10th like ever, & after about 2 years (I think), a new subscriber. Can't wait for Pitcairn, Niue , & Tuvalu. ;-)
Same :(... Ok I live in Germany near the border to the Netherlands so if they should sink I would have the shore next to my door, hm actually... no no I love the Dutch people to much to want this to happen :D
i read about the Netherlands having those huge barriers at the deltas that prevent flooding. is it still prone to flooding though? (never went there) *edit : barriers
I was just browsing around on Google Earth and saw the little chain of islands and so I Googled them, then I came to TH-cam and found this. Very interesting. I think it would be fascinating to visit sometime but I doubt if I ever get there.
i was wondering when this was coming out i mean really ever sence you started the first i am really happy when i watch these you are in my opion the best person for someone to teach Geography and i have learned so much thank you for being amazing so i want to say i love all your videos thank you barby i cant wait to see your next video
Does being malay.........and multiple quarters of other races in Asia count? I hope I do have Polynesian or Micronesian ancestry tho,that would be so cool.
Caulifla San - Because they shouldn't, or North Korea should have been done already. He says he's following some sort of Alphabetical order but really he's not. North Korea should be under N if he's going by commen names or D if he's going under official names. Under K for simply "Korea" is just nonsense.
RS 7 North Korea and South Korea aren't their real names, that's just what we call them. Their real names are "The Democratic People's Republic of Korea" and "The Republic of Korea". So it does make sense to include them under K
Zamira Nirvana - The countries aren't called korea and don't begin with K..that's the point! If he's going by commen names like he did with China (People's Republic of China) then he should go with the common names North Korea and South Korea that almost everyone in the world uses. And if he's not then go by the official names DPRK and ROP. It's not hard to understand. Either way would make sense and be acceptable but not K for simply "korea"
Omg this is the first video I was watching from you guys and I love it! I never had much knowledge about topography and stuff like that but you manage to put so much information in that video in an entertaining way, so it is just fun to learn more. Thanks :D
"Makin Atoll-little more than sand, trees, and a small Japanese military base. Miller's reconnaissance team landed there almost a week ago. Since then-we've heard nothing. The waiting's over, we're going in. For all we know they're already dead. If what little we know about the Japanese is true, it might be better if they are." - Sgt Roebuck
Along with the many Kiribati civilians who were killed and suffered during the Japanese invasion and occupation. 17 New Zealand coast watchers and radio coms operators. (military intel, listening and watching posts.) Some based on Makin Atoll. Plus 5 other NZ civilians were beheaded by the Japanese on Tarawa during their occupation. According to eye witness accounts. They meet their deaths with courage.
Dudes. I just found this. I'm I-Kiribati and I love this episode, had me laughing so much. Its great. I enjoyed it very much. I know its late but thanks for this. Kam bati n rabwa.

@Geography Now, Thank you! This the most info about Kiribati I've heard in 5 years, after learning of its existence. That is not too America-centric. You get my 10th like ever, & after about 2 years (I think), a new subscriber. Can't wait for Pitcairn, Niue , & Tuvalu. ;-)
You, at the thumbnail is soo cuttee Barbs! Never expect you rock the smile!
I love how you censored a painting.
Sir Billius 🥵

Kiribati looks very fun. love n respect from india
Do you fearrrr death?
I feel sad for all the low lying countries, including kiribati 😢
Does the Netherlands count?
Niels den Besten probably same with Denmark
Same :(...
Ok I live in Germany near the border to the Netherlands so if they should sink I would have the shore next to my door, hm actually... no no I love the Dutch people to much to want this to happen :D
i read about the Netherlands having those huge barriers at the deltas that prevent flooding. is it still prone to flooding though? (never went there) *edit : barriers
Especially Maldives (lowest lying country on Earth) 😢
I was just browsing around on Google Earth and saw the little chain of islands and so I Googled them, then I came to TH-cam and found this. Very interesting. I think it would be fascinating to visit sometime but I doubt if I ever get there.
literally what i was doing just now!
Been looking forward to this one for a while.
i was wondering when this was coming out i mean really ever sence you started the first i am really happy when i watch these you are in my opion the best person for someone to teach Geography and i have learned so much thank you for being amazing so i want to say i love all your videos thank you barby i cant wait to see your next video
So cool!! Any Micronesians here? 👨🍳👍😊
Does being malay.........and multiple quarters of other races in Asia count?
I hope I do have Polynesian or Micronesian ancestry tho,that would be so cool.
I’m Brazilian, so i don’t know what I am doing here
Waiehu Ku'kailimoku Malay is a language
Chef Rafi's Awesome World I’m Australian :)
SevenStars Mapping same, except I'm American.
I guess this is one for the “countries I didn’t know existed” list
I wasnt expecting koreas to come out soo soon
Caulifla San - Because they shouldn't, or North Korea should have been done already. He says he's following some sort of Alphabetical order but really he's not. North Korea should be under N if he's going by commen names or D if he's going under official names. Under K for simply "Korea" is just nonsense.
+RS 7 He may have made an exception for Korea, which I don't find to be a particularly big deal
It's because he's going by K alphabetically, But N comes before S,
Korea (North)
Korea(South)
RS 7 North Korea and South Korea aren't their real names, that's just what we call them. Their real names are "The Democratic People's Republic of Korea" and "The Republic of Korea". So it does make sense to include them under K
Zamira Nirvana - The countries aren't called korea and don't begin with K..that's the point! If he's going by commen names like he did with China (People's Republic of China) then he should go with the common names North Korea and South Korea that almost everyone in the world uses.
And if he's not then go by the official names DPRK and ROP.
It's not hard to understand. Either way would make sense and be acceptable but not K for simply "korea"
Omg this is the first video I was watching from you guys and I love it! I never had much knowledge about topography and stuff like that but you manage to put so much information in that video in an entertaining way, so it is just fun to learn more.
Thanks :D
That "You're so good at this, Keith" was kind of heartwarming.
When the video started, I shouted: "KIRIBATIIII" ... two seconds later.... "Oh... oh... ok. KIRBAAAASSS."
I learned something already.
Tuvalu was kind of tsundere with Kiribati
"Makin Atoll-little more than sand, trees, and a small Japanese military base. Miller's reconnaissance team landed there almost a week ago. Since then-we've heard nothing. The waiting's over, we're going in. For all we know they're already dead. If what little we know about the Japanese is true, it might be better if they are." - Sgt Roebuck
Call of Duty World At War
Nice man also Tarawa atoll was a huge operation almost like the D-day of the Pacific, featured in Medal of Honor Pacific assault
Im from Makin...very kind people...i miss fish, crabs, taro, breadfruit, coconut & fresh toddy😭
Along with the many Kiribati civilians who were killed and suffered during the Japanese invasion and occupation. 17 New Zealand coast watchers and radio coms operators. (military intel, listening and watching posts.) Some based on Makin Atoll. Plus 5 other NZ civilians were beheaded by the Japanese on Tarawa during their occupation. According to eye witness accounts. They meet their deaths with courage.
My favorite country! I have done many research projects about it
Interesting Video as always Paul!
0:20 Australia put Fiji down
It's now outdated since Kiribati cut ties with Taiwan
Yaas, this is where ken got his start
