Gilbertese (taetae ni Kiribati), also Kiribati (sometimes Kiribatese), is an Austronesian language spoken mainly in Kiribati. It belongs to the Micronesian branch of the Oceanic languages . The word Kiribati , the current name of the islands, is the local adaptation of the European name "Gilberts" to Gilbertese phonology .
For several millennia, the islands were inhabited by Austronesian peoples who had arrived from the Solomon Islands or Vanuatu.The I-Kiribati or Gilbertese people settled what would become known as the Gilbert Islands (named for British captain Thomas Gilbert by von Krusenstern in 1820) some time in between 3000 BC [1] [2] and 1300 AD.
