Other comments: Austral or Rurutu has a traditional vigesimal system, but now people change to use Tahitian numeral system now. This is due to the language contact as well as recent tendency that the young generations dare not speak Rurutu and tend to choose French, the first syllable of glottal stop is sometimes dropped. However, if I speak with the aged people over 50, they always pronounce glottal stop. I am working only Rurutu island, with a population of 2000, in your old data, probably the researcher include every 5 island in Austral such as Tubuai, Raivave, etc, that is why it is written 8000. As my understanding, although mutual communication is possible between Austral islanders, the each island speak each local language, because at school, in Tubuai island, they don't say or learn "Rurutu" language, but "Tubuai language".
