And not a different dialect of the same language, but completely different languages. The islands are so isolated and so spread apart (a couple hundred spread over 2000 square miles of ocean) that they cannot understand each other at all. Further compounding the issue, anthropologists believe that the islands were simultaneously colonized from the west (via the Philippines) and from east (via Kiribati and the Marshalls). So they often have languages from completely different root systems. Every island in Micronesia speaks a different language.
