From the late 19th to the late 20th Century the language situation in Palau underwent dramatic changes due to continual foreign rule. Twenty years after its independence, the Palauan government and traditional leaders are seeking to bolster the Palauan language in order to establish a firm national identity. The Palau Language Commission was officially launched by the government in 2009 for vitalisation purposes, and as a part of the endeavour, is now working to make a loanword dictionary by which it officially recognises loanwords that are commonly used as a part of Palauan language. In the process of this work, the spelling of loanwords has been reconsidered and reformed for more ‘authentic’ spellings. This spelling reform has some internal disagreement and incoherency due to conflicting positions of various Palauan people. This paper analyses the ongoing loanword spelling reform process as a pursuit for linguistic authenticity that contributes to the reinforcement of national identity.
