Language: Ra'ivavae

Source/Author:  Marianne Flores; Odile Tamaititahio 
Identifiers:  ISO-639-3:aut  Glottocode: raiv1237 
Notes:  Ra'ivavae's reflex of PEP *r is /G/. This is often represented as [g] by younger speakers and in the orthography. In order to reflect the uvular nature of the older generation speakers, I am writing this as "G". 
Problems:  Significant borrowing from Tahitian in recent years will likely cause Ra'ivavae to appear closer to Tahitian than it may historically be.
