Maorski jezik Kukovih Ostrva

Maorski jezik Kukovih jezika, poznat i kao Māori Kūki 'Āirani ili Rarotonganski, je službeni jezik Kukovih Ostrva. Većina otočana ga naziva Te reo Ipukarea, doslovno "jezik Domovine predaka".

Blizak je tahićanskom i novozelandskom maorskom, i govornici sva tri jezika se u mnogim situacijama mogu sporazumijevati.

Jezik regulira kopapa reo osnovan 2003.
