Other comments: Mortlockese has a decimal system with several sets of classifiers which used with different nouns similar to Woleaian. Note these data are derived from personal field notes. These data are representative of the Lukunosh dialect as spoken by the Pakin Atoll and Sokehs Island communities of Pohnpei State. That regional dialect of Mortlockese is very similar to the Mortlockese spoken on Lekinioch Islet in the Mortlock Islands in Chuuk State. Mortlockese is spoken by about 6,000 speakers in Mortlock Islands and Pohnpei island, The Federated States of Micronesia.
