Kei te tohu te mahere nei ko hea ngā reo Austronesia e rima i roto i Poronihia. Ko ngā reo o Ngā Kuki Airani, Tahiti me Tuamotu ngā reo tino tata rawa ki te reo Māori. Kātahi ka mārama te take i taea ai e Tupaia o Tahiti te whitiwhiti kōrero me ngā Māori i tana haerenga mai me Kāpene Kuki i te haerenga tuatahitanga mai i te wā 1769 ki te 1770.
