Niuean is a Polynesian language, belonging to the Malayo-Polynesian subgroup of the Austronesian languages. It is most closely related to Tongan and slightly more distantly to other Polynesian languages such as Māori, Samoan, and Hawaiian. Together, Tongan and Niuean form the Tongic subgroup of the Polynesian languages. Niuean also has a number of influences from Samoan and Eastern Polynesian languages. <ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Niuean language," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niuean_language, accessed 21 March 2021.</ref> | Niuean is a Polynesian language, belonging to the Malayo-Polynesian subgroup of the Austronesian languages.
