Ij Io̧kwe Ļo̧k Aelōn̄ Eo Aō ([itʲ i̯ɒ.kwɛ lˠɒkʷ ɑe̯.lʲɤŋ ɛ̯ɔ ɑ.ɤ]), also known more simply as Ij Io̧kwe Ļo̧k ([itʲ i̯ɒ.kwɛ lˠɒkʷ]), is the former national anthem of the Marshall Islands. It became the anthem from 1979 when it was separated from the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, and it remained the national anthem when the Republic of the Marshall Islands gained its independence in 1986, until 1991 when Forever Marshall Islands became the new national anthem.
The music was composed by Samuel Langrine, and the Marshallese lyrics are of unknown origin.
