Talk:Rapa Nui language

message: This contradicts
with this
For now I've removed the former from the article. Those two paragraphs contradict each other and make no sense being together. If the first paragraph is true then Sebastian only recorded a hybridized form of Rapa Nui based on Mangarevan. If the second paragraph is true then the first must be false - Rapa Nui maintained their own language under influence from neighbouring Polynesian languages such as Tahitian (which is already verifiable) however the vocabulary, syntax and phonology is largely still Rapa Nui (also verifiable).
I suggest re-writing the first paragraph making it more congruent with the second. Here is my suggestion;
However it is far from complete. More information on the influence on vocabulary, phonology and syntax on the language from Tahitian, Spanish and any other language should be placed here. If no one minds, I intend to add it to the page in one weeks time.

message: Please inform who were  the "peruvian people" involved in this "business" So far as I Know europeans as spanish people were involved but you are talking about peruvian enslavers??
For your info,even in the Pacific war between Peru and Chile, they invaded Peru deliberately and with the help of British capital and according to his history "they liberated" the slaves of the peruvian haciendas, the truth is that they invaded to conquer territory and win the saltpeter for the UK. It's ridiculous how chile tries to be like the UK, recognized slavery and colonizers worlwide.
In Peru, we say Chile is a third world country with imperial ambitions and no idea of the meening of honor .sorry for my english, greetings !  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.8.213.19 (talk) 17:01, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
