Language
M??ori
M??ori is an Eastern Polynesian language and the language of the M??ori people, the indigenous population of mainland New Zealand. The southernmost member of the Austronesian language family, it is related to Cook Islands M??ori, Tuamotuan, and Tahitian. The M??ori Language Act 1987 gave the language recognition as one of New Zealand's official languages. There are regional dialects of the M??ori language. Prior to contact with Europeans, M??ori lacked a written language or script. Written M??ori now uses the Latin script, which was adopted and the spelling standardised by Northern M??ori in collaboration with English Protestant clergy in the 19th century.
