i wonder if cook island have a link to TAHITI? language sound like the many language we speak in french polynesian island(TAHITI-MARQUEASE-PAUMOT­U-and others island of french-polynesia).thank you if anybody know something.

[classickukie]

theyre language and cultures are similar.

[sagitaritor]

thank you for the answer

[Fanaura]

Tahiti's got french language and cook island is more like a cook island maori language. And simliar dances but not eternally the same. Tahitians open their legs when they dance, sort of like the hawaiins. And Cook Islands have to keep their feet together. hope that answered your question =]

[sagitaritor]

cook island got english language. yes we speak french and we also speak tahitian,paumotu, marquesea, mangareva, and language from rurutu and raivaevae. we have not one but five different language in FRENCH POLYNESIA.

[downundabrutha]

Yes the original settlers were from 2 tribes that both met out at sea. The first from an overpopulated Samoa and the Second fleeing from Ra'iatea. So yes we are one people. Although legend has it that A tribe from Nukuhiva followed the birds to Takutea (Atoll) not far from Enuamanu commonly known as Atiu.

So yes we are similar in many ways. Our language is very similar with that of Rurutu and Tubuai.

Meitaki Ma'ata atu ra! We speak english as well and are Self governed.

[maorihard08]

lols i think they are coz when our people come down through the pacific where droped alot off on the way to nz that is why new zealand maori and the cookislands sound similar aswell as tahitian language
