Rapa Nui language
Rapa Nui or Rapanui (;〔Laurie Bauer (2007), ''The Linguistics Student's Handbook'', Edinburgh〕 ) also known as Pascuan , or ''Pascuense'', is an Eastern Polynesian language spoken on the island of Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island.
The island is home to a population of just under 4,000 and is a special territory of Chile. According to census data,〔2002 Chilean census data〕 there are about 3,700 people on the island and on the Chilean mainland who identify as ethnically Rapa Nui. Census data do not exist on the primary known and spoken languages among these people and there are recent claims that the number of fluent speakers is as low as 800.〔Fischer 2008: p. 149〕 Rapa Nui is a minority language and many of its adult speakers also speak Spanish; most Rapa Nui children now grow up speaking Spanish and those who do learn Rapa Nui begin learning it later in life.〔Makihara 2005a: p. 728〕
==Phonology==
Rapa Nui has ten consonants and five vowels.
