CHUUK is in Micronesia, a vast region in the western Pacific Ocean. There are more than 2,000 islands/atolls in Micronesia! On a world map, the Chuuk Islands are almost exactly halfway between Hawaii and the Philippines.

Chuukese is the official language of Chuuk. There are currently 50,000+ Chuukese-speaking people living throughout the world.
