Trukese is a Malayo-Polynesian language spoken by about 10,000 inhabitants of the islands of the Truk lagoon and by a few thousands more in the Hall Islands to the north and in the Mortlock Islands to the south. This paper is the first attempt (as far as I know) to apply the comparative method to Trukese. A large number of reconstructions based on the comparison of some eleven different Malayo-Polynesian languages are available. This paper attempts to deal with the results obtained by applying these reconstructions to Trukese. This procedure should give us some insight into the history of the Trukese vowels
