Guys there’s a fake account using the GN logo and name in the comments trolling everyone with a link, DO NOT CLICK ON IT AND REPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY. I’ve already blocked them but they might come back so please be vigilant.

Im surprised he didn’t mention Kirimati’s “cities, ” four of which are called Poland, Paris, London, and Banana.

If Kiribati is pronounced "Kiribas", then I would assume Kiritimati must be pronounced "kirismas", which is much closer to Christmas.

I went to a highschool which had a "sister school" in Kiribati, every year either a group of our students would go up there for a few weeks or a group of theirs would come to ours. It was awesome.

I’m from a small island just outside of Chuuk lagoon. In my culture, we have a lot of different ainang (clans/family/origins). The name of my ainang is Sopunipi in case anyone wanted to know lol. Anyways, there is an ainang called Tarawa and it comes from Tarawa, Kiribati. I know one of my uncle’s family has its origins in Kiribati. On my island, we have a fish that you catch from the deep parts of the ocean. It’s a very oily fish that will make you poop orange oil if you eat too much lol. Well people from Kiribati (I was told they were exiles) came and taught my people how to catch it. They called it _te ika ni beka_ (the fish of poop) Which is why the name of it in my language is _teikanepek_ .

If <ti> makes an <s> sound then shouldn't Kiritimati be like _'Kirismas'_ ?

Kiribati finally ... been waiting long -- thanks Barb

[mrcoconutman]

I am from Kiribati. Well I live in New Zealand born and raised here but I identify myself as Ikiribati! Such an awesome thing to see my country and my people being put into a video!

For those who are interested in Gilbertese (Kiribati/taetae ni Kiribati):
/t/ is lenited and assibilated before /i/. So /ti/ is pronounced as [si]. As Barby already said, the name Kiribati comes from Gilberts and since the language lacks a lot of English consonants, they had to substitute some parts to make the name fit the phonological and phonotactical constraints. /g/ > /k/, /ɪ/ > /i/, /l/ > /ɾ/, /b/ > /p/, /ɚ/ > /a/, /ts/ > /s/ and /ɾ/ isn't allowed at the end of a syllable so an /i/ is added (while the /i/ at the end isn't actually pronounced): [gɪlbɚts] becomes [kiɾipas]

McDonalds Islands, Starbuck Island... Do you see a pattern?
