Chuukese (also called Trukese) is a Trukic language of the Austronesian language family spoken primarily on the islands of
Chuuk in the Caroline Islands in Micronesia. There are some speakers on Pohnpei and Guam as well. Estimates place the number
of speakers at about 45,000 including second-language speakers. Chuukese has the unusual feature of permitting word-initial
geminate (double) consonants. The common ancestor of Western Micronesian languages is believed to have had this feature, but
most of its modern descendants have lost it. |
