Marshallese.org – Language and Tools
Marshallese is one of the official languages of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. It is described as a Malayo-Polynesian language, which means that it is somewhat related to well-known Polynesian languages such as Tongan and Samoan. However, it is more closely related to the lesser-known languages of Micronesia such as Kiribati from the Gilbert Islands and Chuukese from the Chuuk Islands.
