What is what language is in moana?

In the 2016 Disney animated film "Moana," the characters primarily speak English, as the film is primarily aimed at an English-speaking audience. However, the use of the fictional language of the people of Motunui, a Polynesian island, is also featured in the film. This language was created specifically for the film by linguist Dr. Larry Kimura, who based it on the Polynesian languages of Maori and Tahitian. The language adds authenticity to the film's setting and culture, and is used in songs and dialogues throughout the movie.
