Mortlockese (Kapsen Mwoshulók) is a language belong of the Chuukic group of Micronesian languages in the Federated States of Micronesia spoken primarily in the Mortlock Islands[disambiguation needed].[3] It is nearly intelligible with Satawalese and Puluwatese.[1] The language today has become mutually intelligible with Chuukese, though marked with a distinct Mortlockese accent. Linguistic patterns show that Mortlockese is converging with Chuukese.[4]
