KNG's French Polynesia page
In the summer of 1998 May - August, I went to French Polynesia to do some linguistic field work. The island I went to do field work in is called Rapa in the Austral Islands, the southernmost islandin French polynesia.
I was in Rapa for roughly 7 weeks collecting data. Here is a page full of vocabulary for whoever is interested in knowing what kind of language they speak.
In my spare time, I also traveled around to other islands in French Polynesia. Click on the following to view some of the pictures:
