The official language in Nauru is Nauruan, a Pacific island language spoken by the local population. English is also an official language and is used in government, education, and business. Most Nauruans are bilingual and switch easily between Nauruan and English. Because of its small population, the local language is a key part of national identity. English helps connect Nauru to the wider world and is especially common in formal settings. You might also hear a few words of other Pacific languages from nearby islands. The country’s bilingual nature reflects both tradition and modern influence.
