Subdivisions:

Marquesic Languages are a small but historically important subgroup of Central Eastern Polynesian languages:

  1. Marquesan languages of the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia
  2. Mangarevan, spoken in the Gambier Islands (also in French Polynesia)
  3. Hawaiian in its various forms

The closest relatives of the Marquesic Languages are Rapan, spoken on Rapa in the Austral Islands, and the Tahitic languages.
