The Tahitian language, or Reo Tahiti, is a Polynesian language spoken primarily in Tahiti and other islands of French Polynesia. It is part of the larger Austronesian language family and shares similarities with other Polynesian languages, such as Hawaiian and Maori. Tahitian is an official language of French Polynesia alongside French. It has a rich oral tradition and is used in cultural practices, songs, and storytelling. Efforts are ongoing to preserve and promote the language, especially among younger generations, to ensure its continued use and relevance in the community.
