Rarotonga...
"Rarotonga is the largest of the Cook Islands,
which are spread
across a vast area of the south Pacific and have a total population
of about 20,000. Rarotonga is spoken by most of the 9,000
inhabitants of the island of that name. Typical of Polynesian
languages, only 13 letters are needed to represent all the sounds
employed in speaking. Little dialectal difference is noted in the
usage of the other islands (exclusive of
Niué)."--1000 Tongues, 1972
