           Summary: Change name of Tahitian language from "Reo Mā`ohi" to
                    "reo mā’ohi"

In Names.php Tahitian language is written :
00396     'ty' => 'Reo Mā`ohi',  # Tahitian
https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/php/html/Names_8php_source.html

As Vitipetia use the Tahitian Academy writting system, I propose to replace it
by :
00396     'ty' => 'reo mā’ohi',  # Tahitian

#1 Vitipedia use the curly apostrophe and the macron :
https://ty.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fa%E2%80%99ari%E2%80%99ira%E2%80%99a
’Ia ora na i te Vitipetia, te puta parau pa’ari ti’amā

#2 The online dictionary of the Tahitian Academy do not use capital letter :
http://www.farevanaa.pf/dictionnaire.php (typing "maohi" in search field)
2°) Qui est originaire de la Polynésie Française. Te reo mā'ohi = La langue
parlée par les polynésiens, le tahitien.

#3 The apostrophe is straight online only for historical technical reasons ;
paper edition use the curly apostrophe :
FA’ATORO and VĀNA’A
