	Tahitian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tahitian, a Tahitic language, is one of the two official languages of French Polynesia (along with French).
		Tahitian is primarily spoken in the Îles de la Société (Society Islands), which includes, notably, the island of Tahiti (which is where the capital of French Polynesia, Pape’ete, is situated).
		In its morphology Tahitian relies on the use of "helper words" (such as prepositions, articles, and particles) to encode grammatical relationships, rather than on inflection, as would be typical of European languages.

		Tahitian is a language of Eastern Malayo-Polynesian origin that has much in common with the Rarotongan and Hawaiian languages.
		The Tahitian language itself consists of only several hundred words, but the complexity and flexibility of the syntax do make it possible to compose complex and nuance-filled sentences.
