Palauan is a language native to Palau, but also spoken in Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

I was pleased to be able to help produce this edition of the Hidden Words in Palauan for the NSA of the Caroline Islands.

There are an estimated 7,000 people of Palauan descent in the US. If you ever meet one, I’m sure they would be fascinate and inspired by a copy of the Hidden Words in their ancestral language.

Here is the first Hidden Word in Palauan:
O NGELEKEL A RENG!
