Reo Tahiti

Ko te reo Tahiti te reo e kōrerongia ana i runga i te motu o Tahiti, he wāhanga o Porinīhia Wīwī. Nō te mea hoki kua riro tēnei motu hei pokapū matua mō ngā motu kē o Porinīhia Wīwī, e whakamahia ana tēnei ingoa e ngā tauiwi me te kāwanatanga o Wīwī ki te kōrero mō ngā reo e rima e kōrerongia ana e ngā tāngata whenua o ngēnei motu. He tino whanaunga te reo Tahiti ki te reo Māori. E mōhiotia whānuitia te kōrero mō te taenga mai o Kāpene Kuki ki Aotearoa. Ko tētahi rangatira nō Tahiti i runga i tana kaipuke, ko Tupaea tērā; tāna mahi he kōrero ki ngā Māori o Aotearoa nei i roto i te reo Tahiti: mārama noa tana reo ki a rātou, kāore i tino uaua te whakarongo mai, whakarongo atu.

Kāore anō tēnei reo kia whakamōhiotia hei reo motuhake, otirā, kua karangahia kētia tēnei reo hei "reo-ā-iwi". E ai ki te ture o Wīwī, ko te reo Wīwī anake te reo e tiakina ana i raro i te maru o te ture.
