New Zealand Speech

I am going to introduce about Maori language.
It is the language which is used by Maori people and it is one of the official languages in New Zealand and it is taught from the elementary school.
Maori language is said to be made long long time ago. It was made around 1200 A.C.
There are some similarities between Maori language and Japanese. For example vowel and consonant, syllable and so on but at that period, it was Kamakura period in Japan so even though there are similarities, there are no connection between Maori language and Japanese. I am going to introduce some Maori languages.
Au…..I
Koe …You
Kia ora…Hello
Te reo Maori…Maori language
Why don’t you research some more Maori language? Thank you.
