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. Consonantsː
* In the Lukunosh dialect of Mortlockese, [tʃ] is used in borrowings. In other dialects, /ʃ/ is replaced by /tʃ/. Vowelsː
