Pohnpeian is a Micronesian language spoken by the people of Pohnpei, one of the four states of the Federated States of Micronesia located in the Pacific Ocean. It is the indigenous language of around 35,000 people on the island of Pohnpei and the Caroline Islands. Some smaller Pohnpeian communities also speak it in Guam, Hawaii, and the US mainland. The Federated States of Micronesia has eight main indigenous languages. Pohnpeian is the second most spoken native language, with Chuukese being the most common.
Although English is the official language of Micronesia, most people speak English along with their native tongue. The language policy of Micronesia places significance on preserving the local dialects for cultural reasons while emphasizing the importance of English as a global language.
Pohnpeian language boasts a rich and extensive history of oral tradition, with stories and folklore handed down over generations. The language has been documented in different scripts, including the conventional Latin alphabet in a traditional logographic script called Sokeh. Despite the challenges facing minority languages in a globalized world, the Pohnpeian language remains an important part of Micronesian culture and identity.
Pohnpeian language belongs to the Austronesian language family and exhibits a complicated grammatical framework that includes using different verb forms, tense markers, and word order. It shares a close structural relationship with Chuukese. The alphabet consists of 20 letters, sixteen single letters, and four digraphs organized in a deliberate order. How emphasis is placed on a particular part of a sentence depends on the type of verb used in the presence of relative clauses within the sentence.
Honorific speech or "high language" is used to address individuals of high status, and some words differ in usage between social classes. Many English, Japanese, Spanish, and German words are adopted as loanwords in Pohnpeian. Pohnpeian is written using the Latin alphabet, and German missionaries developed its orthography.
Pohnpeian comprises a variety of distinct vowel and consonant sounds, which include glottal stop and nasalization.
