Can I use my regional or tribal variations in vocabulary and grammar structures?

Answer

Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori promotes a standard form of Māori, agreed to by experts and used in most dictionaries, grammars, education, broadcasting and most public sector agencies. We will provide participants with a copy of the Orthographic Convention Guidelines to assist you during this course. We ask that all participants adhere to these. Please see the link to the Guidelines on our website: Māori Language Orthography.
