Yapese is a language spoken by the people on the island of Yap (Federated States of Micronesia). It belongs to the Austronesian languages more specifically to the Oceanic languages. It has been suggested that Yapese may be one of the Admiralty Islands languages though Ethnologue lists it as a language isolate within the Oceanic languages.
