Te Reo Māori
Te reo Māori (the Māori language) is one of the official languages of New Zealand and its only indigenous language. Te reo Māori is central to Māori culture, identity and forms part of the heritage of our country. Although a single common language exists throughout both the North and South Islands of New Zealand, there are at least six dialectal differences amongst iwi (Harlow, 2007).
