Note: Since some languages on the list do not have native recordings I used my own voice to record. It may not be 100% accurate.
The Polynesian languages form a genealogical group of languages, itself part of the Oceanic branch of the Austronesian family.
There are 38 Polynesian languages, representing 7 percent of the 522 Oceanic languages, and 3 percent of the Austronesian family. While half of them are spoken in geographical Polynesia (the Polynesian triangle), the other half - known as Polynesian outliers - is spoken in other parts of the Pacific: from Micronesia to atolls scattered in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu. The most prominent Polynesian languages, in the number of speakers, are Tahitian, Samoan, Tongan, Māori, and Hawaiian.
The ancestors of modern Polynesians were Lapita navigators, who settled in the Tonga and Samoa areas about 3,000 years ago.
The Lapita culture is the name given to a Neolithic Austronesian people and their material culture, who settled in Island Melanesia via a seaborne migration from around 1600 to 500 BCE. They are believed to have originated from the northern Philippines, either directly, via the Mariana Islands, or both.
Linguists and archaeologists estimate that this first population went through common development during about 1000 years, giving rise to Proto-Polynesian, the linguistic ancestor of all modern Polynesian languages. After that period of shared development, the Proto-Polynesian society split into several descendant populations, as Polynesian navigators scattered around various archipelagoes across the Pacific - some traveling westwards to already populated areas, others navigating eastwards and settling in new territories (Society Islands, Marquesas, Hawaii, New Zealand, Rapa Nui, etc.).
If you are interested to see your native language/dialect be featured here.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Counting in Fijian: Dua Rua Tolu Va Lima Ono Vitu Walu Ciwa (pronounced "thee-wa") Tini When we say twenty, or thirty, we then will use the number and "sagavulu", e.g. 20 is ruasagavulu, 30 is tolusagavulu, 40 is vasagavulu, fifty is limasagavulu and so forth.

There is such a beautiful aesthetic to the flags of Polynesian islands. A vibe of tropical beaches and slow paced island culture just from the color scheme they use.

Hawaiian has the most divergent phonology. Many consonants are merged.

Yeah like how Waikanae (Waters of the Grey Mullet) becomes Wai'anae in Hawai'ian. They have the same meaning, but the k becomes a glottal stop represented with the ' in Hawai'ian versus Te Reo Maori.

@backupkahaku2586 Жыл бұрын

True, but you also have to consider that there are disparities in pronunciation among native speakers. In Hawaiian the sounds k & t are interchangeable in most cases and happens at random in certain dialects (especially in Niʻihau, other speakers use it, such as those from Hālawa, Molokai where a “k” is only pronounced as “t” when it comes after the letter i), this is the same for pronunciation of the l & r sounds, w & v sounds, l & n sounds, and quite rarely the h & s sounds (like in a rain name of Koʻolau, Oʻahu, Makasila), the k & ʻ sounds (haki/haʻi) and the ʻ & l sounds (mālamalama/māʻamaʻama). Missionaries standardized the Hawaiian alphabet to only include 12 letters (besides the modern ʻokina). In colloquial settings language expressions like Kā, would more often than not be pronounced “Sā” or even “Chā”. Despite all of this Hawaiian is still mostly void of the Proto-Polynesian f, ng, (s & k).

I'm a native speaker of New Zealand Māori. I enjoy learning about the closeness of our links as a Polynesian nation. I always daydream about the language our ancestors would have spoken before they all split up in Samoa. One group moved from Samoa to Tonga, then Tonga to Niue (They're all Western Polynesian languages) Another group left Samoa and settled somewhere in French Polynesia. The group stayed there for a few generations, developing their own culture and accent/dialect. After a few generations some moved north to Hawaii. Some moved north east to the Marquesas. Some moved west to the Cook Islands, another group would leave the Cook Islands a few generations later to settle New Zealand and later the Chatham Islands. All of these groups that originally came from French Polynesia are known as Eastern Polynesians (Tahitians. Marquesan, Tuamotuan, Hawaiian, Cook Islander Maori, Rapanui/Easter Islanders, Aotearoa/New Zealand Maori and Wharekauri/Chatham Islands Tchakat Moriori. I have a theory that that a small group of Samoans made it to Hawaii. Some language sounds of the Hawaiians are typically not heard in Eastern Polynesia. Its also my theory that Kiribati was settled by Samoans and Micronesians There is a Polynesian outlier in the Fijian Islands called Rotuma. Their language is West Polynesian (Samoan, Tongan, Niuean etc) but also has a little Fijian influence

They a have a few similarities, but mostly different. However, they are all Austronesian languages. “Austronesian” is very broad, it covers many people from many different countries. Polynesian is a subgroup of the Austronesian language family and Tagalog does not fall in this group.

Ono in Polynesian is "six" while in Polish (and possibly other Slavic languages) it's the singular nominative-case neuter form of the personal pronoun so "it".
