Reo Mā'ohi
Reo Mā'ohi is the indigenous language of the Māori people of French Polynesia, primarily spoken in the islands of Tahiti and Mo'orea. It is part of the larger Austronesian language family and is closely related to other Polynesian languages, such as Hawaiian and Māori. Reo Mā'ohi is an essential aspect of the cultural identity of the Mā'ohi people, reflecting their history, traditions, and worldview.
The language has faced challenges due to colonization and globalization, leading to a decline in fluent speakers. However, efforts are being made to revitalize Reo Mā'ohi through education and community initiatives, ensuring that future generations can preserve and promote their linguistic heritage.
