Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori | Māori Language Week 2013
When: 1 Jul 2013 - 7 Jul 2013
Venue: New Zealand and beyond!
Ko te aronga mō Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori 2013 ko:
Ngā Ingoa Māori
Ka noho ko Arohatia te Reo hei tāhuhu kōrero mō te Wiki, engari i raro i te aronga ‘ngā ingoa’ ka inoitia ngā iwi me ngā hapori kia whiriwhiri whakaaro mō ngā āhuatanga pēnei i te tika o te whakahuahua, te noho mārama ki te tikanga o ngā ingoa takiwā, me te whakapiki i te auau o te whakahuahua i ngā ingoa Māori.
The theme for Māori Language Week 2013 is:
Ngā Ingoa Māori
Māori names
Arohatia te Reo remains the tāhuhu, the base for MLW, however the ‘ingoa’ theme asks communities to consider important matters such as correct pronunciation, understanding the meaning of place-names, and using Māori names more often.
