kōwhiri reo

He reo rua katoa te iwi kōrero Māori. Ko tētahi uaua o te whakaora i te reo Māori, ko te āta noho me te kōrero Māori. Nā whai anō ko te reo Pākehā te reo matua mō te nuinga o te iwi kōrero Māori. Ki te whakaarohia te manga, kua mau pea tātou ki te taha reo Pākehā o taua manga, kua kore e mōhio me pēhea rā e whiti atu ai ki te taha reo Māori. E tika ana, me mōhio te reo rua Māori ki ngā tahataha e rua, tō te reo Māori, tō te reo Pākehā, me te kanikani anō hoki i runga i te piriti i runga i ngā terenga wai e rere ana ki raro i a ia.
