Spoken Marshallese: An Intensive Language Course with Grammatical Notes and Glossary
by Byron W. Bender
PALI Language Texts
Spoken Marshallese is designed to fill the need for a basic text in the language of the Marshall Islands. It will give students a fluency in the language and a feeling for its structure, enabling him or her to converse freely on a broad range of subjects without additional formal instruction.
The Marshallese-English Dictionary, by Takaji Abo, Byron W. Bender, Alfred Capelle, and Tony DeBrum, would be useful as a supplement to this text.
Byron W. Bender is a professor of linguistics and chairman of the Department of Linguistics at the University of Hawaii. He has previously worked as a language instructor and adviser in the Marshall Islands, has been a student of Marshallese for many years, and has published a number of papers on the language.
