Maori Language Week

Did you know that searches for Maori tattoos are quite a popular directory query on NZS.com? While many may want a Maori design on their arm, how many Kiwis actually speak the language? The last census revealed it is just 4% of the country – so what can you do to learn a little Te Reo Maori?

It’s Maori Language Week in New Zealand, and NZS.com has an extensive directory of Maori related listings to keep you culturally informed.

Maori culture is an important part of New Zealand’s history – we are a nation very proud of our indigenous culture and national support is actively increasing through promotional festivals and arts funding every the year.

Are you interested in learning some phrases from the Maori language this week? Many resources are available online via NZS.com which strive to make learning Te Reo fun, easy and accessible for all.
