Chamorro language
Chamorro (Chamoru in "Chamorro") is the native language of the Chamorro or Chamoru of the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam. It is also used in the mainland United States by immigrants and some of their descendants. It is an agglutinative language, grammatically allowing root words to be modified by an unlimited number of affixes. For example, manmasanganenñaihon "(plural) talked awhile (with/to)" from pluralizing prefix man-, past tensifying prefix ma-, root verb sangan, suffix i "to" (forced morphophonemically to change to e) with excrescent consonant n, and suffix ñaihon "a short amount of time". Thus "In manmasanganenñaihon gui' ": "We (exclusive) talked to him/her for a bit".
