          • Description : North Marquesan is spoken on the north-western part of the Marquesan archipelago in French Polynesia; MRQ is an Oceanic language of the Austronesian language family. Within the Eastern Oceanic branch MRQ belongs to the Proto-Central-Eastern subgroup of Proto-Eastern Polynesian (Pawley 1966; Green 1966). MRQ is most closely related to South Marquesan (QMS), Hawaiían and Mangarevan forming the Proto Marquesic subgroup which is distinct from Proto Tahitic (e.g. Tahitian, Rarotongan, Tuamotuan). The Marquesan speech community is bilingual (French-Marquesan); French is the language of instruction in schools. Both Marquesan languages are highly endangered languages because parents and caretakers cease to transmit the indigenous languages to their children. In the most urbanised areas of the Marquesas (Taiohaé, Hakahau, Atuona) where approximately 70 % of the population of the archipelago lives, most children under age 15 have acquired French as their first language.

        • Description : TU speaks almost no French. TU is very knowledgable concerning old Marquesan legends and culture which she learnt from her adoptive father. With 92 years her memory was not accessible spontanously, but her grandson (Pr) who was the co-collector in all recordings with her led the conversation and helped her to get on the right track when in particular when narrating legends.

          • descriptions
            • Description : Tahitian is mastered by a number of Marquesans because many Marquesans spend several years on Tahiti in the search for salary labour. There are a number of Tahitian loanwords in the Marquesan languages. Tahitian is the only Polynesian language of French Polynesia which is broadcasted on TV (news and talkshows) and it is required when looking for jobs in the administrative sector. Marquesan protestants (around 10 % of the population) use Tahitian as their church language (Bible, prayers, songs, sunday school). The Bible was already translated into Tahitian in the 19th century, and protestants always had the tradition of using the Tahitian instead of the French Bible in their services.

French is the only official language of French Polynesia and also the language used in public life (administration, public schools and media). Only very few older Marquesans (60+) who live in remoter parts of the Marquesas are not familiar with French. In the more urbanised areas of the Marquesas (Taiohae (Nuku Hiva), Hakahau (Ua Pou) and Atuona (Hiva Oa)) most children under age 15 learn French as a first language at home.
