The [[Rapa language]] (Reo Rapa) is a mixed language that grew out of [[Tahitian language|Tahitian]] and Old Rapa among monolingual inhabitants of [[Rapa Iti]]. Old Rapa words are still used for grammar and sentence structure, but most common words were replaced by [[Tahitian language|Tahitian]] words.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Walworth|first=Mary|year=2017|title=Reo Rapa: A Polynesian Contact Language Contact|journal=Journal of Language|pages=119}}</ref> Rapa is similar to [[English language|English]] as they both have specific tense words such as ''did'' or ''do''.
