Comments on speakers
"Reo Ra’ivavae is the autochthonous language of Ra’ivavae, however French is official on the island and is used in governmental and educational domains... Education is conducted mostly in French, with a few hours per week dedicated to Reo Ra’ivavae. Tahitian, as the lingua franca of French-occupied Polynesia, is also spoken, particularly between immigrants from other islands. For the Ra’ivavae diaspora on Tahiti, almost all are multilingual in both Tahitian and French."
