Language is an important part

of an identity and so


Welcome to the learning centre; ​let’s study and learn about the

Nauruan language together.

The textbooks

These two will become my main sources of information or ‘textbooks’ as it were for ​discovering more about the Nauruan language, because they are easily accessible to me and ​two of the oldest records of Nauruan literature.

There are so many avenues in studying language; etymology, phonology, grammar etc. ​but I will be focused more on the orthography, phonology and phonetics of the Nauruan ​language.

The Bibel

In 1915 it was published ​and translated by ​Reverend Delaporte and ​Timothy Detudamo.

Delaporte’s online dictionary

In 1907 Reverend Delaporte published ​the pocket German -Nauruan ​dictionary and was uploaded online by ​Stephen Trussel (www.trussel.com)
