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

[@kelafish808]

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!

I'm from Chuuk and in some parts of Chuuk they say different. Words like where I'm from we say limo for 5

Can you do one on the CHamoru language next!

[@ariyahedie9457]

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" (?)

Other Austronesian languages that don’t use “Lima” for 5??? Yes! Team Non-Lima! Even though all three are derivatives of Lima 😅

[@Gian872]

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 😀

ANd thank you for this video. I love Micronesian states

[@unytdrpoctho1215]

Hello andy 😅

[@Shaheen_Hassan]

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.

Austronesian LANGUAGES without lima

[@scarymonster5541]

[@Bro1774]

nimaua is pretty close though

[@ohkeydan6357]

Lima evolve into nimaua, nimwu,lalem. Lima = nimaua (L=N). Lima = nimwu (L=N). Lima = lalem (lima =lem).
