Nauruan is the word we build from Nauru, that tiny independent island country in the southwest Pacific near the — one of the smallest nations in the world, known for phosphate mines, with only about ten thousand people and its government in Yaren. A Nauruan is a person from that island. Nauruan is also the name of their own language. And it can describe things of Nauru: Nauruan culture, the Nauruan government. You add -an the same way you make American from America. Though actually not every country name takes -an (we say French, not Francean), but this one does. Use Nauru for the country itself; use Nauruan for the people, the language, and things that belong to the island.
諾魯人;諾魯語;諾魯的
組成From Nauru + -an (the ending that means 'of a place' or 'a person from a place').
