language: English, MarshalleseThe Marshallese language, also known as Ebon, is a Malayo-Polynesian language spoken in the Marshall Islands by about 44,000 people, and the principal language of the country. There are two major dialects: Rālik (western) and Ratak (eastern).
Although this work represents the most complete collection of information on the words of Marshallese yet compiled, it is still far from a complete listing of all the words of the language. Nor is the information given for the words that have been included always complete or entirely accurate. But interest in the study of the language is probably greater today than ever before, and rather than delay publication any longer in the interests of completeness and precision, the authors offer it in its present form in the hope that its appearance may stimulate others to join in producing a more nearly complete future edition.
