"The official languages on Guam are Chamorro and English. Both languages are taught in the schools and appear in official documents. The Chamorro (Chamoru) language derives its origins over 5000 years ago. It belongs to the western group of the Austronesian language family which includes the languages of Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Palau. During its evolution, many Spanish and American words have been assimilated into it. "

Chamoru is the native language of Guam, but English is the dominant one. Chamoru is spoken throughout a small chain of islands here in the Pacific, so it isn't unique to Guam. And as Kasai posted, you can trace the Chamoru language as far back as ancient Austronesian.
