Historical SummaryAmong the Polynesian Tonga, where class distinctions are excessively developed, there is a corresponding change in the vocabularies of the classes, the use of terms depending on the rank of the person addressed or referred to, and it is possible by listening to a conversation to tell whether those conversing are of equal rank. There are three vocabularies, for leading chiefs, middle chiefs, and the people. A speaker may also emphasize the superiority of the person addressed by using the vocabulary above that of his rank, or his inferiority by using that of the rank just lower. Gifford obtained a list of these vocabularies from a court attendant and the following are selections from this list:
