Topic: East Central Polynesian Languages


  
  UCLA Language Materials Project Language Profiles Page
The closest relatives of Hawaiian are the Tahitic languages Rarotongan, Tuamotuan, Tahitian, and Maori, and the Marquesan languages, all spoken in French Polynesia and the Cook Islands.
Banning the language from schools and limiting its use to an extreme degree succeeded in bringing the language to the brink of extinction at the beginning of the 20th century.
In 1978, Hawaiian was again made the official language of the state and renewed interest in the language led to its widespread teaching in elementary and secondary schools as well as in academic institutions in Hawaii and other states.

 Voyaging and Isolation Rapa Nui Prehistory
Polynesian canoes can tack to windward, but it is a long, slow process as almost four miles has to be sailed obliquely to the wind to make one mile directly to windward, a ratio that increases greatly when also sailing against a strong current (Finney 1985:10).
Multiple landfalls from different islands in central East Polynesia (or from the same source island, but from different time periods) are of course possible, though the odds against very many canoes reaching Rapa Nui would seem to be high.
