The Dictionary of Cook Islands Languages is a project of the Cook Islands Ministry of Education, Auckland University of Technology (AUT), Te Ipukarea (the National Maori Language Institute), and the University of the South Pacific. Here, visitors can search for translations of words in eight different languages spoken in the Cook Islands, including Rarotonga (sometimes called "Cook Island Maori"), Penrhyn (Tongareva), Manihiki, and more. These dictionaries have been created by examining previously published dictionaries. When exploring a specific dictionary, visitors can learn more in the sources section. As noted in this section, there is currently no other comprehensive print dictionary of Cook Islands languages in print, making this online dictionary an especially important resource. Users can also download a mobile version of this dictionary on Google Play or iTunes.
