What is a Carolinian? -- interesting finds

If you google the word "Carolinian", it will point you to few websites. Interestingly, Carolinian is more associated with websites from North Carolina. One is the student weekly paper of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro - The Carolinian Online.

Then there's the Carolinian AMTRAK route that travels daily between Charlotte and New York City. The University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada has a feature in their Botanical Garden called the Carolinian Forest.

Above all, Carolinian is a language spoken in the Northern Mariana Islands. According to wiki, it is most closely related to Satawalese, Woleaian, and Puluwatese. It has 31 characters in its alphabet.
