The Māori language, known as Te Reo Māori, is the indigenous language of the Māori people of New Zealand. It is an official language of the country and is part of the Eastern Polynesian branch of the Austronesian language family. The language has a rich oral tradition and is integral to Māori culture and identity. In recent years, there has been a revival of interest in Te Reo Māori, with efforts to promote its use in schools, media, and public life. Language immersion programs and resources have been developed to encourage both Māori and non-Māori speakers to learn and use the language, helping to preserve this important aspect of New Zealand's heritage.
