Chuukese Language Resources (chk)

Chuukese, also rendered Trukese is spoken primarily on the islands of Chuuk in the Caroline Islands in Micronesia. There are communities of speakers in Pohnpei, and Guam. Estimates show that there are about 45,900 speakers in Micronesia.

Dress is typically casual, simple, and modest. Be aware that children may not respond or volunteer information to adults out of respect. Chuukese parents may push for their children's education but may view the education system as a separate entity that they are not connected to; therefore, finding ways to encourage and facilitate family involvement may be challenging.

English is required for school in Chuuk; however, Chuukese language classes are available as well. Differences in education levels, exposure to English, and age of onset of literacy skills may vary widely across individuals. Parents may use cultural stories and idioms to facilitate language at home.

A 2022 survey found that 99% of Micronesian are Christians.
