Jasiiradda Baasifigga: Nauru waxay si rasmi ah u bedeshay magaceeda oo noqotay Jamhuuriyadda Naoero
Baarlamaanka ayaa meelmariyay wax-ka-beddelka dastuurka, madaxweynahana wuxuu xaqiijiyay in aan la qaadi doonin afti qaran.
Qaranka jasiiradda Baasifigga ee Nauru ayaa si rasmi ah u soo celiyay magaceeda dhaqameed, isagoo noqday Jamhuuriyadda Naoero. Baarlamaanku wuxuu bishii May meelmariyay wax-ka-beddel dastuuri ah, halka Madaxweyne David Adeang uu xaqiijiyay in qorshaha afti qaran la joojiyay.
Go'aanka aan afti la qaadin
Madaxweyne David Adeang ayaa daabacay warbixin baraha bulshada dambaha Arbaco, isagoo xaqiijiyay in la joojiyay qorshaha afti qaran oo ku saabsan maga-beddelka. Waxa uu sheegay in go'aankaas aan afti la qaadin uu ka dhashay fikrad qoto dheer.
Adeang wuxuu yidhi: "The decision not to pursue a referendum was reached after thoughtful deliberation that Naoero is not a new name seeking acceptance by the people." Wuxuu intaa ku daray: "It is already the identity of the people, is on the national coat of arms, and spoken in the community; and importantly is allowed by the constitution.".
Magaca cusub iyo geeddi-socodka
Magaca gaaban ee qaranka wuxuu hadda noqday "Naoero", halka ay muwaadiniintu ku yeelan doonaan "dei-Naoero". Dawladdu waxay ogeysiisay ururada caalamiga ah iyo dalalka kale beddelka, geeddi-socodka u gudbiddana waa socdaa.
Magaca Nauru wuxuu ka yimid gumeysigii Yurub, markaasoo magaca asalka ah ee Naoero loo beddelay sababtoo ah gumeystayaashu way ku adkaatay inay ku dhawaaqaan. Waa qaranka saddexaad ee ugu yar adduunka, ka dib Vatican City iyo Monaco, dadkiisuna waa qiyaastii 12,000.
Dhaxal iyo luqadda Naoero
Adeang wuxuu sheegay in maga-beddelku uusan ahayn tallaabo siyaasadeed, balse uu udub-dhexaad u yahay dhaxal, isagoo ku tilmaamay dadaal lagu ilaalinayo "the legacy of our ancestors" isla markaana lagu xoojinayo "the future of our children".
Luqadda Nauru ee loo yaqaan dorerin Naoero, UNESCO waxay ku tilmaantay "severely endangered". Wali waa laga hadlaa bulshada, laakiin iskuulada laguma baro, inkastoo dawladdu sharcigii horeysay ee sanadkii hore uu ku daray manhajka mustaqbalka.
President confirms referendum dropped as name already rooted in national identity and constitution
The Pacific island nation of Nauru has officially reclaimed its traditional name, becoming the Republic of Naoero. Its parliament passed a constitutional amendment in May to change the name, and President David Adeang confirmed late on Wednesday that a planned national referendum was dropped.
Referendum abandoned citing existing identity
President David Adeang confirmed in a social media post that plans for a national referendum on the name change had been dropped. He stated the decision followed thoughtful deliberation that Naoero is not a new name seeking acceptance by the people.
Adeang said Naoero is already the identity of the people, appears on the national coat of arms, and is spoken in the community, and is permitted by the constitution. The short-form name is now Naoero and citizens are called dei-Naoero.
Colonial alteration and national transition
The name Nauru originated during European colonisation, when the native name Naoero was altered because colonisers found it difficult to pronounce. Nauru is the world's third-smallest nation after Vatican City and Monaco, with a population of roughly 12,000.
The government has notified international organisations and other countries of the change, and the transition process is already under way. Adeang described the renaming as heritage-focused, preserving the legacy of our ancestors and strengthening the future of our children.
Language status and education plans
The Nauruan language, known locally as dorerin Naoero, is classified by UNESCO as severely endangered. While still spoken in the community, it is not taught in schools at present.
The government passed a bill last year to incorporate the language into the curriculum in the future, marking a step toward preservation. The renaming aligns with efforts to maintain heritage amid ongoing language vulnerability.
