Extractions: Jump to: Introduction Facts for the Traveler When to Go Events ... Maps People come to French Polynesia to live it up in stylish resorts, scuba dive in lagoons teeming with tropical fish, gorge on the unique mix of French and Polynesian cuisine and, basically, experience a little French chic mixed with South Pacific charm. For more than 200 years, Tahiti has represented the tropical-paradise myth for Europeans. It's French Polynesia's biggest, most famous and historically interesting island, but the glossy pictures that you see in travel agents' windows are almost certainly some other French Polynesian island.

Extractions: About us Send me a Brochure Tripbuilder (Shopping Cart) Send me a Quotation ... Pacific News member of French Polynesia About the Country People and Lifestyle Tahiti is a multi-racial mix of Polynesians of Maohi (Maori) extraction, Europeans, Asians and mixed races. A handsome people, they are noted for their hospitality, friendliness and easy going nature. They speak French and Tahitian which are the two official languages, but English is spoken in the hotels and shops. History Hundreds of years after the ancient Polynesians created a Pacific base for their huge voyaging canoes, explorers like Mendana, Quiros, Le Maire, Schouten, Roggeveen and Byron made brief unplanned visits to the Tuamotu Atolls and the Marquesas Islands in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Later in the 18th century explorers such as Bougainville, Wallis, Vancouver and Cook 'discovered' Tahiti and called it the 'Garden of Eden'. Captain Cook returned three times to study the transition of Venus, Captain Bligh came to collect seedlings from the wondrous 'Uru' or breadfruit tree and the insubordinate Fletcher Christian returned to the islands that caused the mutiny on the Bounty. Before the arrival of the Europeans, the islands were divided into districts, each governed by a Chief. When Pomare V abdicated in 1880 the islands, previously a protectorate of France, became a French Colony, and in 1957 French Polynesia became a French Overseas Territory.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_France

Extractions: French is the only official language of France In addition, several historical regional languages are still spoken, to some extent. Some of them are sometimes called patois , but this term (roughly meaning dialect ) tends to be considered as derogatory. Also, because of the history of immigration of France, several other languages are spoken by a substantial percentage of the population. In April , the Minister of Education, Jack Lang , admitted formally that for more than two centuries, the political powers of the French government had repressed regional languages, and announced that bilingual education would, for the first time, be recognized, and bilingual teachers recruited in French public schools. The real importance of local languages remains subject to debate. The Report written for the French government by Bernard Cerquiglini identified 75 languages that would qualify for recognition under the government's proposed ratification of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages Although ratification was blocked by the Constitutional Council as contradicting the Fifth Republic's constitutional provision enshrining French as the language of the Republic, the government continues to recognise regional and minority languages to a limited extent (without supporting them, protecting them or granting them official status) and the

Extractions: French Polynesia French Polynesia, officially Territory of French Polynesia, internally self-governing overseas country (2002 pop. 245,516) of France, consisting of 118 islands in the South Pacific. The capital is Papeete , on Tahiti . The territory comprises five main groups: the Society Islands Marquesas Islands Austral Islands Tuamotu Archipelago ; and Gambier Islands . The small, uninhabited atoll of Clipperton Island , c.3,400 mi (5,470 km) NE of Tahiti, is administered by France from French Polynesia. Tropical fruits are grown on plantations, and cultured pearls, coconut oil, mother-of-pearl, vanilla, and shark meat are exported. Tourism is important to the economy. Foodstuffs, fuel, and equipment are the largest imports. The inhabitants of the territory are mainly indigenous Polynesians or those of mixed Polynesian and European descent (known as Demis); about 55% are Protestant and 30% Roman Catholic. There is a considerable Chinese and a smaller French minority. French and Tahitian are both official languages. French Polynesia is administered by a high commissioner and council and an elected assembly. The territory elects two deputies to the French national assembly and one member of the senate.
