Te reo Māori proficiency and support continues to grow – Media release
5 July 2022
New Zealanders are getting better at speaking te reo Māori and are more supportive of its use in day-to-day life, Stats NZ Tatauranga Aotearoa said today.
New data from the 2021 General Social Survey (GSS), collected between April and August 2021, showed that the ability of New Zealanders (aged 15 and over) to speak te reo Māori in day-to-day conversation has improved.
Since 2018, the proportion of people able to speak more than a few words or phrases of te reo Māori rose from 24 percent to 30 percent. This follows a previous, smaller, rise between 2016 and 2018.
E tupu tonu ana te matatau me te tautoko i te reo Māori – Media release
5 July 2022
Kei te pai haere ngā tāngata o Aotearoa ki te kōrero i te reo Māori, ā, kei te kaha ake hoki te tautoko i tōna whakamahinga i roto i ngā mahi o ia rā, e ai ki te kōrero a Tatauranga Aotearoa Stats NZ i te rā nei.
Ka kitea i roto i ngā raraunga hou mai i te Tirohanga Pāpori Whānui (GSS) 2021, i kohia i waenga i ngā marama o Āperira me Ākuhata 2021, kua piki haere te mōhio o ngā tāngata o Aotearoa (neke atu i te 15 tau te pakeke) ki te kōrero i te reo Māori i roto i ngā kōrerorero noa o ia rā.
Mai i te tau 2018 kua piki hoki te ōwehenga o ngā tāngata ka kaha ki te kōrero kia neke atu i ngā kupu me ngā kīanga ruarua noa mai i te 24 ōrau ki te 30 ōrau. E whai ana tēnei i tētahi pikinga iti iho o mua i waenga i te tau 2016 me te tau 2018.
