  3. Early Beginnings • Maori People • Polynesian tribes began arriving in canoes from the mythical land of Hawaiki around AD 1000 • New Zealand Maoris' are descendants of original people • The language of the Maori • Te Reo Maori • Over time English overtook the language but due to racist attitudes the language became second class.

  4. Immigration • English from various parts of England migrated in 18th century • Missionaries, Sailors, Whalers, Traders • English who migrated to Australia also immigrated to new Zealand • Language barrier led to English influence on Maori language

  7. Regional Variation • Cultivated/General/Broad • British Influence • Cultivated speech closest to “received pronounciation” (RP) • Prestige accent conveys respectable social standing • Broad dialect furthest from RP • Australian Influence • Broad speech closely linked to Australian speech • Maori Influence • New Zealanders have borrowed words from Te Reo Maori describing flora, fauna, proper names and place names • Ex. Birds- Kiwi, Kōkako, Moa

  8. Vocabulary • Bach – holiday house • Chilly bin- insulated food/drink box • Fizz boat- speed boat • Golden Kiwi- the national lottery • Swannie- a type of jacket • Wopwops- a derogatory word for suburbs • Hook your mutton- clear out

  9. Pronunciations • The short ‘i’ sound moves toward the ‘Ә’ • Fish → fesh • Important to note that in Australian English the short ‘i’ moves towards the long ‘e’ • The short ‘e’ sound moves toward the short ‘i’ • Yes → yis • The short ‘a’ sound moves toward the short ‘ε’ • Bat → bet

  10. Pronunciations The vowel pairs such as ‘iӘ’ in the word here and ‘εӘ’ in the word hair are pronounced with wide variation and often are pronounced the same Notably this is not seen in Australian English The ‘dark l’ at the end of words like ‘kill’ is replaced by some with ‘w’ so that ‘bull’ and ‘bill’ would receive the same pronunciations The ‘dark l’ also becomes the semivowel ‘w’ before a consonant such that ‘build’ my be ‘buwd’ These two distinctions vary within regions and socio-economic class Some local pronunciations English is often heard without the ‘g’ Menu often has a long ‘i’ not the short ‘e’ Both Australian and New Zealand speech have high rising intonation which is said to be more frequently used in New Zealand to have originated there.
