		Chamorro is an Austronesian language spoken by about 50,000 people mainly in Guam, and also in the Northern Mariana Islands and the USA.
		Chamorro contains a huge number of words of Spanish origin and this has lead some to mistakenly believe that it is a Spanish-based Creole.
		Chamorro first started to appear in writing in 1668 when a missionary by the name of Father San Vitores devised a spelling system for the language using the Latin alphabet.

	Guam History, People and Culture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Chamorro possessed a strong matriarchal society, and it was through the power and prestige of the women, and the failure of the Spanish overlords to recognize this fact, that much of the Chamorro culture, including the language, music, dance, and traditions have survived to this day.
		Chamorro matriarchal society, Kepuha had the authority to hand down important decisions made with the advise and consent of the highest ranking woman in his clan, the maga'haga.
		During the course of the Spanish occupation of Guam, sources have estimated Chamorro casualties to the fighting and disease to have reduced the population from 150,000 to 200,000 to roughly 5,000 by 1741, mostly women and children.

	A Brief History of the Chamorro
		Chamorro had the doubtful honour of being the first people of Oceania to receive European callers during the early sixteenth century.
		This conventional view of Chamorro social organisation is in consistent with the results of recent archaeological and historical research, and with the structures of other traditional Micronesian societies.
