Im Chuukese & my family still hold on to ancient ancestor stories. I come frm an ITANG family from both sides & a cheifly line from my mother side. An Itang a keeper of the old ways & old Chuukese traditions & when i say old i mean ancient.
Growing up ive heard my elders tell stories of where my ancestors came frm. We came from the East from an island mountain touching the white clouds.
First time I ever saw a Micronesian I said to myself “that man looks like my uncle” NZ-Maori
Pulan, your channel is a gem. I have learned so much from you and appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos. thank you!
I deeply appreciate your comment Caissa. I am so happy that you were able to learn about our people and culture through this channel. Si Yu’os ma’åse’ for your support! 🙏🏽
You are spoiling us with all of these fascinating and informative videos! I admire how you portray this complicated cultural history with the informative map and your concise narration. This video is excellent for introducing a complicated topic within just a few minutes, and then people can look into the linguistics studies, archaeology, and other research for more details and discussions.
And I admire you for providing an excellent article in summarizing the migrational history of Micronesia! And exactly as you said there’s definitely so much room for discussion in regards to settlement history!
Austronesian strong blood!! Filipinos Mabuhay
Please keep carrying this forward. This is so concise.
The Yapese (Wa'ab) is unique though. According to legend passed down
... The first settlers in Yap were Malayo. On the side note, there are clans in Yap that migrated from New Guinea (Rach' lang, and Prcha' lang).
Is there anywhere I can follow up on those clans ?
@@mattworswick2963 I recalled reading about the clan from an old book. It's written in Yapese. It has various stories in that book including WWII.
I can't find it online. So best guess that the schools in Yap still has a copy.
Clan is passed down from material grandparents.
Maybe this explain why the Palauan and Chamorro languages are not related to the rest of micronesian island languages. I read it some where but I don't know if it's correct or not. So can you please tell me if it's true? Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
Hafa adai. You are correct. Palauan and CHamoru are from a higher linguistic ordering, most likely as isolates of Proto-Malayo-Polynesian due to their earlier migration history. While the other languages of Micronesia are relatively more similar because they are descended from the ancestral Proto-Nuclear Micronesian language. Although Yapese is an exception, as it is classified as an Oceanic language and not necessarily a descendent of Proto-Nuclear Micronesian because of the different migration history of Yap. Hope that answers your question!
@@pulanspeaks You did answer my question. Thank you so much and please keep educating us more about the micronesian history. God bless!
This is a great video! Thanks for the informative graphics and map.
Si Yu'os ma'ase'!
Thank you fso much for the knowledge you continue to share with us.
The number 10:
Chuukese - Engol
Marshallese - Joñoul
Kosraean - Singul
Mwotlap - Soñwul
(Mwotlap is a language spoken in northern Vanuatu)
Thanks for sharing a cognate! This is a wonderful example.
@@pulanspeaks oh yeah no problem 🙏
Hafa Tata Manu hao Che’lu? Saina Ma’se for this Amazing & Lovely historical, geographical, & cultural breakdown. I’ve learned so much in such a short period by watching and listening to your work on IG and CZcams.
With so much appreciation & respect. si Ben Taimanglo Benavente ✊🏽🇬🇺🤟🏽🙋🏽♂️
Y'all should look into our Wallacean languages,the Central Austronesian languages of Maluku and Timor such as Tetum.
Do you plan on reading and reviewing The origins of the Austronesians by Prof. Peter Bellwood?
The migration pattern makes sense. Indicating that the pacific people were isolated for so long that they developed their own unique culture and language, and certainly improving their seafaring technology. The ancient pacific people saw the ocean as highways.
What source did you use to calculate the sea level to conclude that during the state time the islands were still underwater?
It's called Seqalu Formosa
Uh. I love your channel
Thank you so much 😊
To add to that theory, studies done on the genetics of Polynesians, Micronesians, and Melanesians found that Micronesians are least related to Southeast Asians than Polynesians.
Filipino created polynesia 3000 years the lapita people were from the Philippines Islands there numbers are almost the same lima five wrong sala man lalaki fire is afi in samoan the body they found in vanuwatu and tonga was filipina 3000 years old filipina ourmuslim dont look asian there malay filipino austronesian islanders they look Indonesian and some Indonesian live on our muslim islanders and our sub melanesian native look melanesian and filipino yall never knew that were a beautiful race and island culture were not ugly and our islands is better than micronesia and Polynesia put together and we have nit lost our island roots we depend on the blue ocean waters palua is so near to the Philippines guam and palua use to belong to us
@@alochoa7057 Wrong. Before South East Asia was inhabited, the people you call "Filipino" and "South East Asian" was NON-existant, so dont try to claim "Filipinos created Polynesia" IF so, then why do FILIPINOS come back with a high degree of POLYNESIAN in them OR MALAY? Because there was NO such thing. Polynesians inhabited South East Asia BEFORE Asians push them out along with your "negrito" people in the Philippines and elsewhere in South East Asia. If you ask me Micronesian resemble Filipinos and Asians, I know because I live in Hawaii and we have all those ethnic groups here. Micronesians/South East Asians look nothing like Polynesians, were much bigger and taller! your average Filipino is literally 5 feet, Polynesians are GIANTS! Genetics dont lie. Polynesians are an ancient race of people. Where are all of your genealogies to PROVE your ancestories? OR is it just Polynesians who have our ancestors name for name each of our descendants about 70 generations! I can recite it for you if you message me. So DO NOT discredit Polynesians when FILIPINOS dont even know who they are, they think their Spanish, Chinese and Polynesian lol
Proof and evidence? With this statement it makes the austronesian expansion untrue.
Modern day Polynesians , Micronesias including Melanesians are decedents from the austronesian sailors.
If you’re talking about modern day south East Asians then that’s a whole different Topic.We’re talking about austronesian peoples.
@@Ate.ria04 Melanesians are a different thing and only some are part Austronesian.Most of them and their ancestry is Australoid who are a much older and distinct migration then Austronesians.
@@alochoa7057 How could the first settlers in Remote Oceania like Tonga and Vanuatu be "Filipinos" when Filipinos didn't even exist back then?Your islands was named after King Philip of Spain like only 500 years ago.If you would have said it was AUSTRONESIANS who reached those islands then it would be correct,but saying they were "Filipinos" is simply incorrect.All because the Philippines didn't even have a name back then and Filipinos weren't even one people back then ,just a bunch of warring Jungle tribes,and they definitely didn't call or know themselves as "Filipino" especially the thousands of years ago that the Austronesian Expansions took place!
Can you do one about those 2nd millennia migrations into Marianas that preceded the Latte era?
Yes I appreciate this education!
... as an artist, i also noted the music you chose seems perfect for describing such a place at least in non traditional sense .💦🌈🌿🌊. Can you direct me to this music source ?
🙏🏼🌟
Do the original pure blooded Chamoru look closer to the Carolinians or Palauans or Chuukese? Or is it not known?
original pure blood chamorros looked straight polynesian, descended from giants.
@@zeinizim Micronesians back then all have stories of how they looked like Giants not just Chamorros, I don’t think looking like Giants is exclusive to Polynesia.
It’s crazy because all 3 nesian groups have stories and legends of giants who helped carved and shaped the islands. Crazy crazy how we are connected
@@zeinizimyall are short asf😂
Genetic studies of CHamoru have shown that they’re the only population in Remote Oceania that didn’t intermix with the ancient Melanesians, like Polynesians and other Micronesians.
So it’s safe to say that the first CHamoru phenotypically looked like Southeast Asians/ aboriginal Taiwanese.
So we were under water ?
Please Pulan, look into the island of Guiuan, Samar Islands PI. We have theories of CHamorus originating from Luzon and also theories which we come from Sulawesi. The Samar islands are located somewhat in the center. Guiuan means fish, lokkue.
Nevermind PI too much people, Chamorro cannot go backwards..but keep pushing your agenda to let all Chamorro people know that they come from Phillipines...As a Chamorro i dont even want to put myself down to Filipino..I belong to this soil not to the soil of PI...and Filipino dont belong to this soil...still dont get it??..yes, u can say im ignorant, but you are more ignorant trying to change a Chamorro to believe in his heart he is a Philippine product...Chamorro and Filipino is not the same..it is a complicated subject because now Chamorro is multi-bloodline; as in Spanish, Mexican, Filipino, German, Japanese, even other Oceanic lineages (i know there are others more possibly). But It’s an evolution that has transpired to make, say, a 1940’s thru present day Chamorro. We see it in our own eyes how Chamorro is evolving and changing. So you can keep pointing back to PI all you want but that is not the only place an ‘ever changing’ Chamorro is from. As history keep stating the; indigenous population declined immensely, leaving room for immigrants from Spain and whoever on those ships to colonize the islands among the ‘original’ Chamorros, that you are claiming are from PI..u see how ignorant you are, and you still want to show the Chamorro people how smart you are..as a Chamorro i can be ignorant to you Filipino whenever i want, you as an outsider better show respect..your respect to us will deserve you respect. Pulan please proceed to Uncover the roots of Chamorro people for Mr. Collazo-Cruz...what you dont know which last name to use?? Lol smh.. mann...third world country people nowdays..or still yet these days lol

Polynesia Lapita origin from Maluku Indonesian through Melanesian All the way to Tonga Samoa not the long way Micronesia 😊
You just proved that early settlers on the Islands you mentioned were once from Ma-i, currently known as the Philippines, which was inhabited by Africans during The Great Human migration. So, the Micros, Polys, and Melas were once Filipinos.
We weren’t once “Filipinos” because The Philippines never existed back then, stop spreading lies on CZcams, nobody believes you.
It’s not that simple
Please we’re not Filipinos we’re austronesian’s Descendants just like the indigenous peoples of the Philippines.
Micronesian not filipino 👎
3 nesian groups are Pacific Islanders. Flips are are Asian.
Mate you are all wrong about Kiribati.... it is still not clear due to limited archeological findings. Very different celestial skills etc. But would be interested in more studies to link the surrounding groups with this middle group. Thanks
Kiribati from what I was told, was either settled by Polynesians and conquered by Micronesians, OR vice versa. The people there look like a mix between Polynesian and Micronesian and also the culture and language too are a blend of the two. You can tell the difference between the ikiribati and the rest of Micronesia. Tuvalu is also another example of the blending of the two cultures.
@@keokikahumokukoa8832 I can’t really tell the difference between I-Kiribati and “rest of Micronesia” . But if anything , The I-Kiribati people from the Gilbert Islands(where majority of the population is from)are Micronesian. The Phoenix and Line Islands probably have more Polynesian Influence. But Kiribati just proves that these names “Micronesian” and “Polynesian” don’t hold any real weight because all our ancestors knew eachother back then.
I think the Micronesian culture is a lot more closer to Melanesian and Polynesian we get the beetlnut from Melanesia and kava from Polynesia
they literally chew betel nut throughout southeast Asia
@@marimar3161two things can be true at once
Why do Micronesian languages sound so different from Polynesian languages and Island Southeast Asian languages? You can still find so many cognates between ISEA languages and Polynesians languages, but Micronesian languages seem completely different
I believe the languages are generally different because of the different groupings that the languages are descended from. Central-Eastern Micronesian languages are descended from the ancestral language proto-nuclear Micronesian which eventually branched off into the languages in Central-Eastern Micronesia that we see today i.e. Marshallese, Chuukese etc. This proto-nuclear Micronesian language is believed to spoken in the Solomons-Vanuatu area around 100 BCE. While Polynesian languages, to grossly simplify the grouping are descended from proto-Polynesian spoken in the eastern part of the Fiji-Samoa-Tonga area around 800 CE. This language community would eventually settle the rest of Polynesia i.e. Hawaii, Taihiti etc. So immediately we can tell that the “Micronesian” and “Polynesian” languages are more different because they are descended from different Austronesian language groups. Same logic can be applied for Island Southeast Asia, but there’s even more branches that contributed to the general vast linguistic diversity.
Isolation and stronger influence by Papuan/Melanesian languages? From later migration?
So from what I have seen/read/heard is most of the Micronesian languages have a lot of influence from some of the Melanesian languages. Almost all the Micronesian languages follow the word order of SVO (subject-verb-object) like most of the Melanesian languages. Most Austronesian languages usually begin with the verb first. And a lot of Micronesian languages have more than the regular 5 vowels _a, e, i, o, u_ (common in the Melanesian languages). My language has 11. And also Micronesian languages have a lot of (labialized?) consonant sounds I hear in Melanesian languages like _mw, pw, bw,_ or _kw_ . And one thing I’ve read about a lot of Polynesian languages is that every word has to end with a vowel, that’s not really important in a lot of Micronesian languages. Micronesian words can end with consonants or vowels. For example:
_Sky_
Samoan - Lagi
Tongan - Langi
Chuukese (Mrtk) - Láng
Marshallese - Lañ
_Eyes_
Samoan - Mata
Tongan - Mata
Chuukese (Mrtk) - Mas
Marshallese - Māj
_Fish_
Samoan - i’a
Tongan - ika
Chuukese (Mrtk) - iik
Marshallese - ek

Austronesian is actually not come from Asian like Sino Tibetan, Austroasiatic, Kradaic typical East Asians , histories Austronesian inhabits from Native Taiwan -Philippines - Pacific Islander - Madagascar because almost all the genes of Asian people are very small have Austronesian blood and most larger Austronesian are people's from Philipines, Pacific Islander ( Micronesian & Polynesian ) . This race " Austronesian" emerged from the original Filipinos then spread to Taiwan to become Aborigines , Eastern Indonesian and all Pacific islanders even so far Madagascar.
Philippines Taiwan China originally from South East Asia Human species migrated from Africa not from the white North 😊
Why is it hard for you to say Maharlika or Philippines? Southeast Asia? Do you suggest that Filipinos are not Pacific Islander? Filipinos has all similar DNAs with all the groups you stated. We got the Negritoes (Blacks), Lumads (Southern Chiefs), Badjao (Sea People), and Kingdom of Tondo (you call the yellows). With your depiction of migration, the first inhabitants of the Islands you mentioned were once Maharlikans or now so called Filipinos. You won’t admit it, but that is the truth.
Most Micronesians have lineage from the Solomon Islands/Melanesia Area. We are all the same people yea but Maharlika isn’t a real thing, stop that bs
Your name sounds Spanish?
@@tukmol1589 yes my Filipino Great great great great Grandfather with the Spanish last name was a prisoner from Manila who abandoned ship in the 1800s and married one of the Kings Daughters of one of the Islands in Micronesia.
@@tukmol1589 a lot of Micronesians have last names from other countries (Japan, Germany, Spain)
@@tukmol1589 but otherwise, Maharlika has no real proof and if Micronesians came from the Filipinos how come you guys can’t understand our language? Only the Chamorros you guys have similar words.
Bro are u chamorro
Hunggan.
Lol what a joke
We are all Austronesian from Taiwan Aborigines , Philipine, Micronesian, Polynesian and Hawaai. and many studies reveal Chamorro and Filipino are brothers . you Chamorro is 100% are from come from Philipines not from any other.
I'm from Philipines
Ay pilipino shaarap ur 100% mouth
@@lwf5205 Why you do the kuya like that 😂😂
@rifgredney
Please respect the people of Pacific islands they have their own unique cultures and influences and chammoro people that you mention please respect them. They have their own identity and they have their unique cultures and influences
You legit realize you just admitted that all these islands are rightfully Filipino territory right?
Yeah you wish
This is Chamorro Territory boy, act up get smacked up!
Filipino what? Foh 😂😂
no Micronesia's are pacific islanders not Asians! Iam Spanish Guamanian. My mom is Spanish American, and my dad was Spanish Guaman American.
Wahahaha do you all believe all these things 😂 cuz I’m not 😂 What is the meaning of Micronesia ? 😂 If I don’t trust anybody than how could I believe them 😂 Whoever talks about it , are they from there , they live there , do they know about everything if not than they’re liars .😂
