甘比尔群岛的曼加雷文语言位于塔希提岛和复活节岛之间，是四十多种波利尼西亚语言中最大的双词组之一。这些二重体表明了从马克萨斯到图阿莫图斯东部的岛屿的前原-中东部定居点。他们还见证了后来原中东部对类似出处的岛屿的入侵。累积的证据表明，原始-东南部波利尼西亚语，一种迄今未被承认的语言，似乎构成了原始-东部波利尼西亚语的第一次区分，是东部图阿莫图斯人、曼加雷瓦人、皮特凯恩人、亨德森人和拉帕努伊人的第一批定居者所说的语言。
The Mangarevan language of the Gambier Islands, situated between Tahiti and Easter Island, displays one of the largest collections of doublets among the forty-odd Polynesian languages. These doublets indicate a pre-Proto-Central Eastern settlement of the island from the Marquesas via the Eastern Tuamotus. They also witness a later Proto-Central Eastern intrusion on the island of similar provenience. The cumulative weight of evidence suggests that Proto-Southeastern Polynesian, a hitherto unrecognized language that seemingly comprised Proto-Eastern Polynesian's first differentiation, was spoken by the first settlers of the Eastern Tuamotus, Mangareva, Pitcairn, Henderson, and Rapanui.
