Tahitian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (500 words) |
 | Tahitian, a Tahitic language, is the official language of French Polynesia and is spoken throughout Oceania. |
| Tahitian makes a phonemic distinction between long and short vowels; when written, long vowels are either marked with a diacritic (typically, a macron) or reduplicated. |
| Tahitian is morphologically weak, meaning that it 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. |
