Kioranga! Kohi mai ra! (This is a Re Moriori greeting. The reo equivalent would be Kia ora! Nau mai ra!)
Tena tatou e te iwi! This week I thought I would pop back in with some Re Moriori. I've been interested for awhile in this reo and wanted to do another episode on it. Hopefully it can be a good resource for those of you interested in pursuing this beautiful language. Please keep in mind that this is purely my attempt at speaking the Re. The sound I produced is based on my observation of the written text, my knowledge of Te Reo and Olelo, the rongo (waiata), and lectures given by Kiwa Hammond. Today I'll be reading a story from this amazing resource, which was pieced together by John Middleton of the Waipapa Taumata Rau | University of Auckland, from the handwritten details by Alexander Shand, an ethnographer from the 1800s. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/383090302_A_Moriori_Tale_Ko_Tahopuni_raau_Ko_Paonga Enjoy!

E hoa ma! I'm excited to share with you the Maori language challenge I've set for myself. Basically, I'm introducing an old custom, an old practice that was quite common amongst our tupuna. That is implementing tapu onto our speech.
Kia ora e te iwi! I was so fortunate to speak with my new friend Ronik and talk about his journey towards speaking te reo Maori.
