Regional/Cultural Day

Ongerach er a Belau

Schools shift to Palauan-only instruction for cultural modules. The language has 12 vowels and sounds nothing like English or any other Micronesian tongue. AHA: Palauan is a linguistic isolate : it shares no confirmed genetic relationship with any other language on Earth. When linguists map the world's language families, Palauan sits alone, like a island that drifted away from every continent.
