Language Overview

Increasing use of digital platforms, particularly social media. Traditional broadcasting and print media are still relevant. Preference for content that includes local news and stories.
Market Insights
Communication is indirect and highly context-dependent. Respect for elders and social status is important in language use. Understanding of local customs and taboos is essential.
Cultural Context
Latin script with additional characters for unique sounds. Typography tends to be simple and clear. Text direction is left to right.
Writing System and Typography
Pronunciation can be difficult due to unique vowel and consonant sounds. Stress and intonation patterns are distinct from English.
Phonetics and Phonology
Subject-object-verb (SOV) structure. Complex system of tense, aspect, and mood. Number and gender inflections are minimal.
Grammatical Structure
Translation often results in text expansion, approximately 10-20%. Subtitles require careful syncing due to unique sentence structure. Recommended 30-35 characters per line.
Media and Text Layout
Localizing content requires deep understanding of cultural context. Risk of losing meaning in translation of idiomatic expressions.
Localization Challenges
Few issues with software compatibility. Attention needed for correct rendering of unique characters.
Technical Considerations
Marshallese is deeply connected to the island’s culture, with storytelling and oral traditions playing a significant role in community life.
