O ngā iwi mātou rā
Of nations and of us also

In the bonds of love we meet
Hear our voices we entreat

From the shafts of strife and war
Make her praises heard afar

Almost everyone knows a few words (eg Kia ora for hello), but only about 3% of New Zealanders can hold an everyday conversation in Maori. It is, however, one of the three official languages of New Zealand, the third one being NZ Sign Language.

A shame you didn't leave the Maori in there Jerry.

I recently did the Ka Mate haka as a quiz and a few people have taken it.
