= Social caste system in Yap = The social caste system of Japan is a traditional system of social stratification used by the natives of the Yap Islands in the Federated States of Micronesia. Within in each social caste, each individual and village falling under this system are expected to have different types of duties to their local communities, different lifestyles, different occupations and even different dietary requirements. The traditional social caste system is still in use to this day although people from various castes now have the ability to switch professions and possess socio-economic mobility.

Old System
The Yapese social caste system was developed with the notion of tabugul and ta'ay in mind. In Yapese, the notion of tabugul means "purity" while its opposite ta'ay referred to anything that is profane, unclean and impure.
