Chamorro, sometimes confused as Guamanian, is the native language of ethnic Chamorros on the Micronesian island of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, particularly Saipan, Tinian, and Rota. Chamorros represent less than half of the current population on Guam, and not all ethnic Chamorros, i.e. the younger generation, speak it, so estimates of Chamorro's speaking population are between sixty and ninety thousand.
