langue austronésienne et officielle de la république des Kiribati
Gilbertese is a language spoken in the Pacific island nation of Kiribati, part of the larger Austronesian language family that spans across the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It matters because it represents an important part of the cultural and linguistic heritage of the Gilbertese people, though like many indigenous languages, it faces challenges from the spread of English and other dominant languages.
