The term "Marshallese" refers to the people of the Marshall Islands, a group of islands located in the central Pacific Ocean. The population primarily speaks the Marshallese language, which is part of the Austronesian language family. The culture is rich in traditions, including storytelling, dance, and crafts, reflecting their deep connection to the ocean and their environment. Marshallese society is organized into clans, and family ties are highly valued. The islands have a unique history, including significant events related to nuclear testing conducted by the United States in the mid-20th century. Today, the Marshallese continue to navigate the challenges of modern life while preserving their cultural heritage.
