    Maori Language Week kicks off today, with it marking its 50th anniversary

    Maori Language Week kicks off today, with it marking its 50th anniversary


    The week celebrating Te Reo, grew from a single Maori Language Day that began 1972.

    Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Maori Chief Executive Ngahiwi Apanui-Barr says the idea of expanding to a full week started in 1975.

    She says since its humble beginnings it's grown to a nationwide movement for all New Zealanders.

    Apanui-Barr says this year she wants Kiwis to commit and try make Te Reo Maori a part of daily life, as every word counts.
