“This is really cool! The UI is very intuitive and not annoying and the text it generated was interesting and the right level for me. This really is the first language tool I've seen in a while that's actually interesting and fresh.”

Tahitian (Reo Tahiti) is an Eastern Polynesian language of the Austronesian family, indigenous to the Society Islands of French Polynesia. About 68,000 people speak it. It is recognised by French Polynesia as a language of education and culture but does not have French-style co-official status. It is closely related to Cook Islands Māori and the Marquesan languages.
Tahitian has only 13 phonemes — 5 vowels (with length distinguished by macrons) and 8 consonants — making its sound system one of the smallest in the world. It uses VSO word order, distinguishes inclusive vs exclusive 'we' (tāua vs māua), and marks tense and aspect with preverbal particles (e for non-past, ua for perfective, ‘ia for irrealis).
