Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book represents a comprehensive study of a language spoken on the remote island of Guam and the Mariana Islands. In a society that has undergone significant cultural change, few records remain of their ancient traditions and language. As a result, the language has been in rapid decline for generations. This dictionary, meticulously developed over many years, is the first of its kind in English. It provides a structured record of this language, preserving the Chamorro vocabulary against encroaching loss. Through intensive research, the author has gathered over 3000 words and phrases of the Chamorro language, including historical and modern terms. This impressive work also incorporates grammatical and pronunciation guides, enabling readers to gain proficiency in the language. The significance of this dictionary lies not only in its preservation of an ancient language, but also in its potential to revitalize interest and learning of Chamorro.
