Tahitian language

Tahitian (reo Tahiti) is a Polynesian language indigenous to Tahiti. It and French are the official languages of French Polynesia. It is most closely related to Māori, Hawaiian, Cook Islands Māori, Rapa Nui and other French Polynesian languages.

Alphabet

The Tahitian alphabet has thirteen letters; five vowels (A, E, I, O and U), eight consonants (F, H, M, N, P, R, T and V) and the glottal stop, called the ’eta. Tahitian also uses macrons to represent long vowels (Ā, Ē, Ī, Ō and Ū).
