         <description><![CDATA[<div>New Zealand is making some serious efforts to preserve the endangered Maori language. Several agencies including Maori Party are striving hard for providing a leadership strategy for the language. Unfortunately, the number of speakers of this language is declining and various research studies show that conversationally fluent Maori speakers have come down under 4.8% during the last five years. Responsible funding agencies are making some genuine efforts to revive the language and attract more towards it.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>The changing attitude of the people towards Maori language&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Responsible <a href="https://www.tematawai.maori.nz">Maori Language funding service</a> providers are encouraging Maori as well as non-Maori people to show some interest in this language and they really want to change the speed of decline. New Zealand as a whole was not really interested in the revival efforts of the language earlier. This attitude is changing and there are some real efforts aimed at the preservation of this language. The public outrage was really big when efforts were made to sign the Maori national anthem at global events in 1999, but people have become more conscious about their protest against this language.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Appreciable efforts by the government&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>New Zealand as a nation is making some deliberate efforts; especially the government and the role of some Te Reo Funding Services cannot be ignored at all. The government itself has been trying hard to preserve the language. This language is regarded to be endangered by several agencies including the Endangered Languages Project. However, the efforts from the New Zealand government have been really encouraging. It has played a big role in funding Maori television and radio broadcasts for improving the frequency and reach. Despite all these efforts, thing are no gaining momentum as they should be and many more things need to be done for increasing the number of people talking this language fluently.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Introduction of a bill to promote Maori language&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>In the recent times, the efforts to revive this language have gained some momentum with the introduction of a bill. The primary purpose of the bill was to promote and safeguard the Maori language. Maori Party is the one who has introduced this bill and they have been planning to increase the attraction, fascination and popularity of the language. The approach is not only to increase the popularity among the speakers of the language but also among the non-speakers. The enactment of the bilingual Te Reo Maori law took place recently and it is a major step in the direction of increasing the acceptance of the Maori language. Those people, who have been supporting this bill, are hopeful about the new legislation and they firmly believe that it has been revitalizing the language in the best possible manner. More and more efforts are needed to make things really promising for the Maori language.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br></div><div>When it comes to Maori funding, nobody can undermine the importance of the role played by agencies like Te Matawai. They have been making some serious efforts to revive the status of Maori and the initiatives by this agency can always be described as truly commendable.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>For&nbsp; More Info :- <a href="https://www.tematawai.maori.nz"><strong><em>Te Reo Funding<br></em></strong></a><br></div>]]></description>
