Nau mai Haere mai, 'Kōrero mai'

Aotearoa New Zealand is the only place in the world where Te Reo Māori is spoken as an indigenous language. This makes it a taonga/ treasure unique to this country which deserves our protection and nourishment.

Correct pronunciation indicates a bicultural awareness and respect for Māori culture. Go to our bilingual signs pages to listen to some pronunciation examples.

What does the Māori alphabet look like?

The Māori alphabet is made up of ten consonants and five vowels:
A E H I K M N NG O P R T U W WH

What do the lines above the vowels mean?

The lines are called macrons; they indicate the way a vowel is pronounced: short or long.

Short sound: A/a (as in up); E/e (as in pen); I/i (as in eat); O/o (as in fork); U/u (as in you)

Long sound: Ā/ā (as in far); Ē/ē (as in peel); Ī/ī (as in heel); Ō/ō (as in your); Ū/ū (as in roof)

Consonants

Most sound similar to the English sound but there are several that need special attention and practice e.g.

r is very short and slightly rolled
wh is pronounced as f
ng is pronounced as the ng in singer
