	Polynesian languages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Rapan is the language of Rapa, in the Austral Islands of French Polynesia.
		The Samoic languages are one of the primary classes of Polynesian languages, encompassing the Polynesian languages of Samoa, Tuvalu, American Samoa, Tokelau, Wallis and Futuna, as well as a number of languages, spoken in parts of Tonga, the Cook Islands, New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, and the Federated States of Micronesia.
		Specifically, the Samoic Languages are classified as "Samoic-Outlier", in recognition of the fact that Sāmoan is the most significant, and that the majority of the Polynesian languages spoken in scattered island communities in Melanesia and Micronesia (called outliers) are members of this same family.

		However, work actively continues to ensure that the language is not lost—through compiling the comprehensive dictionary and a new version of the hymnbook, and in community-based language nests in Auckland and Wellington.
		The importance attached to the acquisition of the Samoan language was further given impetus with the introduction in 1951 of the state schools with Samoan as the medium of instruction.
		Samoan is one of the stronger languages among Pacific Island populations, reflecting its larger population base, and Samoan has always been used as the language of religion and education in the islands, including during the missionary period.

		The first half of the 20th century was not known for its active support of indigenous languages and cultures and this is reflected in the print culture evidence of that time from the territories.
		The two major influences on secular educational publishing in Pacific Islands languages are migration from the Islands to New Zealand from the late 1960s onwards, and the dominant role of the Department (later Ministry) of Education from the late 1940s, through its School Publications Branch (corporatised in 1989 as Learning Media Ltd).
		Pukapukan is a distinct language spoken on the Northern Cook Islands atoll of Pukapuka (1996 population 780) where Johnny Frisbie Hebenstreit, the author of this story ('A Quiet Night'), was born.

	Pacific Magazine: The Salibury's Obsession
		What we have done is documented things about their language and culture." Given the small numbers that speak it and the influence of other languages on its speakers particularly because of migration, the language is endangered but not dying, says Kevin.
		In its Language Bill of 2002, the Cook Islands government stopped short of recognising Pukapuka as an official language of the country.
		Kevin's specialisation is ethnomusicology and over the decades he has studied, compiled, recorded and written hundreds of Pukapukan chants that have been hitherto passed down orally from generation to generation.

	A well kept secret in the Pacific - The Cook Islands People
		The islanders are of the Maori race, very closely linked in culture and language to the Maori of New Zealand, the Maohi of French Polynesia, the Maori of Easter Island (known as Rapanui) and the Kanaka Maoli of Hawaii.

		Niuatoputapu is here classified as a Wallisian language, and not as an unclassified language within the Samoic-Outlier group, based on the classification made by Grimes 1992 where Niuatoputapu is considered to be genetically closer to the Wallisian language Niuafo'ou than to any other language.

		Rapa is here classified as a Tahitic language, and not as an unclassified language within the Central Polynesian subgroup, based on Biggs' 1971 statement that the language spoken on the island of Rapa today is a variant of the Tahitian language.

		The low level of achievement in Maori on Rarotonga is generally attributed to parents and teachers assigning priority to English as the main language required by students for higher education and professions.
		The data simply indicates the language proficiency of a group of Cook Islanders who are assumed to be mainly aged in the late-teenage to mid-twenty's age group and who are more academically talented than the majority of their peers.
		In 1998, the Language Panel, working in conjunction with the Curriculum Advisory Unit of the Ministry of Education, developed and attempted to conduct a Cook Islands Maori Language Survey.

	Puka Puka, Cook Islands
		This version of a Pukapukan star map shows the occidental names of the constellations but with the Polynesian references using the legends, and ocean creatures with which they were familiar.
		The island is extremely important in the arena of Pacific cultural history both because of its geographical location and because its culture has close affiliations with both Eastern and Western Polynesia.
		The people speak a language more related to Samoan than the Maori tongues of the southern Cook Islands but there is evidence of linguistic influence from eastern Polynesia.

	NCW--What the Critics Say About Terese Svoboda
		Based on Tahitian, Pukapukan, and Marshall Islander experiences, the understated prose of A Drink Called Paradise tells of the wet, lush decay of an island inhabited by living ghosts, islanders moving in the shadow of a bomb that detonated fifty years ago.
		Svoboda's subject is human suffering, and she bends language to her will in spare and oblique prose.
		Depth charge of cry, of outrage — language at the edge of utterance, utterly original, fl-bordered, indelible as we are not.
