 Rapa Nui language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It forms its own subgroup within that classification: this means that Rapa Nui on one hand and Central Eastern Polynesian (the Marquesic languages, Rapan and the Tahitic languages) on the other comprise the whole of Eastern Polynesian.
It is spoken by the Rapa Nui, the inhabitants of Easter Island.
Rapa Nui has the distinction of being the only language in Oceania to have been committed to writing prior to the arrival of Christian missionaries in the 17th century, albeit some (including Jared Diamond) believe the idea of writing to have spread there earlier through European contact.

 Voyaging and Isolation Rapa Nui Prehistory
Otherwise, the inhabitants of Rapa Nui and other islands of Polynesia would be speaking languages derived from the American side of the Pacific, not, as is the case, from Asian side.
To begin with, Rapa Nui probably never was rich in good canoe-building timber, and as the population grew the island was deforested forcing the islanders to build their small fishing craft out of scraps of wood or out of reeds.
Rapa Nui culture looks so archaic and different from its East Polynesian neighbors not necessarily because it was settled earliest, or most directly from West Polynesia, or because it was an amalgam of Polynesian traits mixed with those brought by South American raft voyagers or Iberian sailors from lost Spanish galleons.

 Nui Lawsuit Attorney | Lawyer NUI Corporation Charged with Misleading Stockholders
Several class actions have been filed against diversified firm NUI Corporation (NYSE: NUI) and certain of its officers and directors by stockholders who purchased the company's common stock between November 8, 2001, and October 17, 2002.
On October 18, 2002, the defendants shocked the market when they announced that NUI's earnings for fiscal year 2002 would be far below their prior guidance, in part because of increased fixed cost expenses for its telecommunications business, accruals for pension expenses, and increases to the reserves for medical and health benefit claims.
Following this announcement, the price of NUI's shares fell $9.27 per share, or approximately 49%, to close at $10.90 per share.
