The Marshallese Language is native to the Marshall Islands with a large immigrant community in Springdale Arkansas. The Marshall Islands will be entirely under water by 2035 due to climate change. The Marshallese Community in Springdale does not formally educate their second generation children in their native language. Furthermore, that community is the lowest on the socio-economic totem pole in Arkansas and has found its population suffering from the harsh tenant laws of Arkansas as well as the School to Prison Pipeline.

Thus, a great way to save this community economically and socially would be to pay members of this community to document their own language for the BLOOM Language AI Model

Furthermore, this ethnic group is subject to great police brutality in the state of Arkansas and usually do not have legal representation due to lack of funds and being on permanent VISA status (they are usually denied citizenship in the US)
