Te Wiki o te Reo Maori 2013

We encourage you to learn more about Maori names, including place names and names of people you may know.

Use te reo in phone greetings and recorded messages |
Hold mini-Maori lessons at work on pronunciation; basic reo skills etc. |

Does your town have a Maori name? Help staff to learn about the meaning and to pronounce the name properly. |
For parents: find a Maori name for baby: |

Maori names: adopt a bilingual name for your organisation |
Use macrons for Maori names in all written material. Tamaki. |

Check this link with pronunciation help: |
Use Maori place names on mail addresses e.g. Tamakimakaurau for Auckland. |

Media organisations: make sure you use macrons for all Maori words and names – it’s a useful way to recognise Maori as an official language. |
