EGIDS 7-8a;
90% of Cook Islands people live abroad. In New Zealand, 68% of Cook Islands people under 65 years of age and 80% under 30 years of age are monolingual English speakers. In the Cook Islands, increasing numbers of young people are monolingual in English or passive bilinguals, though the language is used in all domains including online. (Numbers unavailable for Australia). Cook Islands Māori is used by older speakers in some religious contexts and particular media programs as well as in welcoming ceremonies.

New Zealand Māori
Advanced shift to English. Many older people also speak New Zealand Māori, Tahitian, and other regional indigenous languages due to having attended school away from the Southern Cook Islands. There is a lack of qualified Cook Islands Māori grade-school instructors in the diaspora, though some community courses are offered. The language is still prevalent in the performing arts.
While English literacy is high, it is common to have functional or low literacy in Cook Islands Māori. Though most written material is liturgical, there is a broad representation across other genres as well as bilingual dictionaries and grammars. The unclear orthography impedes motivation to read aloud.
