拉帕语

Rapa, also known as Mangaia, is an Eastern Polynesian language spoken on Rapa Iti in French Polynesia, and on Mangaia in the Cook Islands. There are three varieties of Rapa currently being spoken in French Polynesia: Old Rapa, Reo Rapa and New Rapa. Old Rapa has been mostly replaced by Reo Rapa, a mix of the more commonly spoken Tahitian and Old Rapa. New Rapa – revitalized Old Rapa – is commonly spoken by middle-aged and younger speakers. Rapa is a critically endangered language, and there are only around 300 speakers of Reo Rapa, with only 15% of them able to speak Old Rapa.

It may be more vibrant on Mangaia, but there the population has been declining for half a century due to emigration.
