Mฤori Language Week (NZ)
Mฤori Language Week (NZ)
Every year since 1975, Aotearoa (New Zealand) has celebrated Te Wiki o te Reo Mฤori, or Mฤori Language Week, an occasion that brings te reo Mฤori (the Mฤori language) into the spotlight. Held every third week of September, this government-sponsored initiative is part of a bigger movement to rejuvenate the language. Itโs packed with events that honour the countryโs unique heritage and encourage folks to sprinkle a bit more Mฤori into their lives.โจ
Acknowledging others is so important. A greeting like ‘Kia Ora’ goes beyond mere pleasantries. It’s a deep recognition of a personโs essence, their roots, and their lineage. And though the journey to revitalising the Mฤori language has been a long one, progress is happening. Today, te reo Mฤori is experiencing a revival, with more speakers, dedicated Mฤori-language schools, radio stations, and a television channel all contributing to its resurgence. How will you join in?โจ
