Tahitian (autonym Reo Tahiti or Reo MÄ'ohi) is a Polynesian language, spoken mainly in the Society Islands in French Polynesia. It belongs to the Eastern Polynesian group. Tahitian was first transcribed from the oral spoken language into writing by missionaries of the London Missionary Society in the early 19th century.
MÄori is closely related to the language spoken in the Cook Islands (known as Cook Islands MÄori or Rarotongan. Many people use Rarotonga to refer to the dialect spoken on the largest island in the Cook Islands group), Tahitian, and other Polynesian languages spoken in Eastern Polynesia. Linguists agree that MÄori is a member of the East Polynesian branch of the Polynesian Language group.
