Rakahanga-Manihiki is a Cook Islands Maori dialectal variant belonging to the Polynesian languages family, spoken by about
2500 people on Rakahanga and Manihiki Islands (part of the Cook Islands) and another 2500 in other countries, mostly New Zealand
and Australia. Wurm and Hattori consider Rakahanga-Manihiki as a distinct language with limited intelligibility with Rarotongan
(i.e. the Cook Islands Maori dialectal variant of Rarotonga). According to the New Zealand Maori anthropologist Te Rangi Hīroa
who spent few days on Rakahanga in the years 1920, the language is a pleasing dialect and has closer affinities with [New
Zealand] Maori than with the dialects of Tongareva, Tahiti, and the Cook Islands |
