About this title

Synopsis

Despite numerous attempts over the course of many decades, Micronesian Outer Island languages such as Ulithian, Woleaian, and Satawalese still lack stable spelling systems. Non-native speakers have found existing language materials to be confusing, inconsistent, and even unhelpful. Local teachers have complained that previous materials developed by outside researchers and local governments have confused and stifled young island students who are working to properly pronounce and spell words.

To best meet the needs of students and teachers, Habele’s experts have developed new and important improvements towards more systematic, and thus predictable, written languages that are more phonetically accurate and more easily learnable for non-native speakers. These innovations include careful depiction of extra word boundaries, adoption of a base-form system of representing words, and updating certain alphabetic characters.
