Hi, everyone! I hope you like the video! Note that at 2:35 it's a voiceless bilabial fricative, not a voiced bilabial fricative.

I want Maori to survive just for the way they call France. Wīwī. It’s genious. It’s because French people say “oui oui” a lot

Fun fact: there is a Māori dub of SpongeBob (SpongeBob Tarau Porowhā), and it's actually pretty good (from what I've seen of it, at least). Interestingly, despite all of the Polynesian influences seen in the show, like Squidward's moai house or the use of Hawaiian background music, the Māori dub is the only time SpongeBob was actually translated into a Polynesian language.

There's a band called Alien Weaponry that sings in Te Reo Māori and it sounds so cool.

Here in southern Oklahoma (US), the Chickasaw Nation is making an effort to revitalize their language. My family and I are not Chickasaws, but my husband and son and daughter all three work for the Chickasaw Nation in various administrative positions. As part of employment, they offer language lessons as one way to accrue points toward a yearly bonus. It will be a difficult recovery, but thankfully the tribe is well-organized and has managed their resources extremely well, so they've managed to get extensive recordings of native speakers before they all died out.

It's odd to think that Maori, Tagalog, Hawaiian, Rapa Nui, Malay, Javanese, Malagasy, Samoan, and Fijian are all related, that's a sizeable family.

I'm reminded of a stand-up routine I heard years ago where the comedian proposed a trade agreement between Hawaii and Yugoslavia. In the interest of achieving normal phonemic balance, the Slavs would export consonants, and the Pacific Islanders would ship vowels.

As a native te reo Māori speaker, I am fortunate enough to work for an indigenous tertiary education provider. I use te reo Māori in formal and informal situations, mostly from home or at the office. Itʻs great seeing a video that is so well though out and put together like this. Tēnā koe😊

Māori and Tahitian are similar enough that my uncle, who spoke fluent Te Reo Māori, was able to converse at length with a Tahitian visitor without either needing to resort to English - when a word in either language wasn't understood, they'd explain it in terms that were mutually comprehensible until the word was understood. When I was in Tahiti, I also noticed a lot similarities between Tahitian and Māori words.

The Irish government is talking about introducing Irish universities where the subjects are taught in Irish. That should help to keep the Irish language from becoming extinct. It is taught at school, but not many people use it after school. There are areas where only Irish is spoken.

My mum is Maori but only knows one phrase: ha te mai kittie kai (come to eat). In her childhood, it was illegal to speak Maori in schools. Such a shame. Glad to see it being revived, it's so pretty 🙂

I am Indonesian and enrolling my son to a New Zealand International School. I can't believe that my son's school teaching Maori as second language along with English. He learns a lot due to the teaching syllabus requires him to understand Maori. It's pretty cool tbh.

Me as a Maori: He is probably going to butcher the pronunciations, if he gets any right then I'll eat my pōtae (hat) Langfocus: Māori. Me: ( ͡⊙ ͜ʖ ͡⊙) proceeds to eat pōtae.

I am Icelandic and as someone who reads a lot of books set in Aotearoa I started looking for a pronunciation guide online a few years ago. It suprised me that my Icelandic way of reading the words was so much closer than the English way. Yes there are a few differences but using my Icelandic reading gets me really close without butchering the words completely. I wouldn't be able to speak to anybody like this but reading words from a map to get directions from a Māori speaker would probably get me farther than some others would get.

Here in Brazil there are over 200 languages and they're all endangered. There are local and academic efforts regarding some of them, such as caiapó, macuxi, guarani, among others. There's a language, Karitiana, that might be actually close to complete disappearance. The government, unfortunately, simply ignores the diversity of brazilian indigenous languages.

In Brazil there's a lot of indigenous languages endangered. There's more than 150 languages and dialects spoken, but only 25 has more than 5.000 speakers, some examples are: Guajajara, Guarani, Kaingang, Xavante, and others. I don't really know a lot about these languages, but as far I know I didn't see public efforts to revitalize them, though are some efforts by some groups to do it.

Kia ora, as a kiwi it's kinda weird to hear Paul talk about a familiar language for once instead of an unfamiliar, overseas language. Anyway, an interesting consequence of the bilingual (actually trilingual) policy is that there's a mismatch between the official usage of Māori and the everyday use of Māori. Māori can legally be used in many official settings, including parliament, the courts, and consultation. Māori is included in symbolically important places, such as the names of education institutions and govt departments. Most official welcomes and events feature people speaking Māori, which they sometimes butcher, usually because they have not actually learned to speak it. This is contrasted by the lack of Māori usage in everyday settings. Save for marae, Māori immersion schools, classes and the homes of speakers, Māori is not normally used for everyday purposes, save for a few limited areas such as the East Cape where you can hear people speak it for everyday conversations and sometimes see it used in advertising. Because I do not live in such an area, I only speak Māori with someone if I know that they speak enough to understand what I'm going to say. Otherwise, there's a risk of causing confusion, embarrassment or even shame for the person I'm talking to and I want to avoid that.

As a New Zealand immigrant (from the US), I've been trying to learn te reo Māori. This is an EXCELLENT summary and very very helpful. Having only studied Indo-European languages in the past (French, Spanish), I am finding some challenges with word order and other things you mentioned. Thanks for this.
