Do the Tahiti islands speak French?

Yes, the official language of French Polynesia, which includes the islands of Tahiti, is French.

However, it's important to note that there are also local languages spoken in Tahiti:

* Tahitian: This is the most widely spoken Polynesian language in French Polynesia, and is considered the "national language" by many.

* Other Polynesian languages: Depending on the specific island, you might hear other Polynesian languages like Marquesan, Tuamotuan, or Mangarevan.

So while French is the official language, you'll also encounter Tahitian and other Polynesian languages spoken on a regular basis.
