Tahitian.
The te gives it away for me. Hawaiian lost T and they became K. Samoan uses a glottal stop (shown by an apostrophe). Fijian has V sounds in it, which this doesn't. Could be Tongan, I suppose, or Easter Islander, but I think it's Tahitian.

Nope.
It's Nuclear Polynesian, which means it's not Tongan, and it has V sounds.
Aux cerveaux, personnes!

Wait a second... Isn't Malagasy a Polynesian relative? I never think of it that way because it isn't anywhere near Polynesia. But then again, I don't think Tahiti, Tonga, or any of the others that come immediately to my mind are in the Eastern Hemisphere.
I confess I'm not familiar with the term "Nuclear Polynesian", so that's not helping.

Not Malagasy.
Correction: It's mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere. Part of it is in the Western Hemisphere.

"Nuclear"? So it's the language of the Bikini Atoll!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More seriously; is it the Easter Island language? |

That's Marshallese.
No, it's not Rapa Nui.

It certainly isn't a pretty scripty, still it is very controversial. Some consider it(the lang the script was written in) a conlang while others consider it a natlang. It's origins certainly are unclear as it doesn't appear to be lexically related to any of the Philippine langs. *oops, gave too much  |
You think that this isn't a pretty scripty?!  I love this script and I wanna see more of it including samples which unfortunately I've been unable to find.

It isn't.
If the next 3 people don't get it, I'm giving away the answer.

It's a Samoic language, isn't it?
Is it an Ellicean language? |

I'm betting it's a language typologically very similar to English (but with no provable shared ancestry).
I'm betting it's:
Niger-Congo
.Atlantic-Congo
..Volta-Congo
...Kwa
....Left Bank
I'm betting it's spoken on the Atlantic coast of Africa near the mouths of the Volta, Congo, and Niger rivers. |
