MĀORI LANGUAGE, PEOPLE, & CULTURE

[@Sanzianabel]

I’m loving these “people, language and culture” videos

[@1994dannylee]

Me too! It transforms this simple language channel a truly valuable cultural-linguistic-anthropological encyclopedia!

[@RadenYohanesGunawan]

I love my fellow Lima bro and sis from Indonesia 😊❤

[@SirBolsón]

Cool to see one of the most unique languages of Middle-Earth! ;) 🇳🇿

[@ViscosAtlantic]

🇨🇦🇮🇪 Hope this language gets translations of all the great things typed online. Languages during modernity is a treasure

Very interesting language....beautiful to hear..... 1 of the most beautiful austronesian languages.....

[@ariantotle]

It's cool that 'woman' in Maori Language is 'wahine'. In my language (Selayarese [one of languages from South Sulawesi, Indonesia]), we say 'bahine'.

[@DonTornado]

I love the Maori language! There was a time where I was trying to learn it, but I didn’t get very far.

[@gabriezoid]

Same, did you listen to Māori songs?

[@DonTornado]

@@gabriezoid Yeah. I listened to some songs by Prince Tui Teka.

[@Baa975]

As a half maori boy I'm actually flattered

[@Davlavi]

Great deep dive thanks.

[@paiwanhan]

Tama meant father in PAn, and became the word for son in Māori.

[@kukukakikakakkukaku]

Some similarities with Indonesia/Malay: Taringa - Telinga Ika - Ikan Rua - Dua Rima - Lima You guys are basically our distant cousins 🥺 Austronesian 🤝 Polynesian

[@brian0902]

I know you commented on this 2 months ago, but by the way, Polynesians are Austronesians. The way Polynesians formed is that Austronesians moved down into what is now Papua New Guinea and southern Indonesia. Some genetic mixing occurred, similar to how the Malagasy are a mix of Bantu African and Austronesian. Austronesians who stayed and continued to mix with Papuan peoples eventually formed the Melanesians, while those who went east became the Polynesians.

[@kukukakikakakkukaku]

Berarti jauh banget sebelum ada multikulturalisme bangsa Austronesia, bahkan dengan budaya Tingkok-India. Budaya kita yang paling asli dan otentik itu lebih dekat dengan bangsa Polynesia ya. Secara kan moyang bangsa Asia Tenggara dan orang2 Oseania datang dari pulau Formosa (sekarang Taiwan)

[@risapangestika2391]

Yoi, dan karena datangnya pengaruh dri luar kyak India, China, Arab, Belanda, budaya itu udah hilang. Tapi beberapa etnis masih melestarikannya kya Dayak, Mentawai, dll. Bangsa Austronesia itu identik dengan bulu burung dan tattoo serta lautan, dan maka keahlian mereka yaitu Navigasi, peninggalan yg msih bertahan smpe sekarang contohnya sbuah gambar di goa2, punden berundak, dan kapal pinisi dri sulawesi.

[@daveduvergier3412]

A lot of those vocab items for animals and food seem to be English loan words adapted to Maori phonology

[@shaungordon9737]

Yes, some of those foods and animals weren't in NZ before colonisation so they borrowed the English words for them

[@uggali]

@@shaungordon9737yeah exactly! And Māori loaned words to english for things that did not exist in Pākehā world before contact, like mana and tapu, but English still doesn’t know what those mean anyway😂

[@watchmakerful]

The sound of Austronesian languages somewhat resembles Japanese. Is it a coincidence or an influence?

[@Finity_twenty_ten]

People compare Hawaiian to Japanese, but Maori is on a whole different level!

[@tobytawaqal3678]

Hawaiian & japanese aren't related at all, they came from different language families. However hawaiian & maori are related, since both are austronesian languages.

[@Mohammedtoufiz]

Nice 👍

[@c_karis_1]

I love the Maori language. It has a lot of vowels and syllables but the words and sentences are not that long compared to other very vowel-heavy languages even though the consonant inventory is so limited.

[@cheerful_crop_circle]

Lol

[@cheerful_crop_circle]

Does Russian sound more pleasing?

[@c_karis_1]

@@cheerful_crop_circle I don't understand what this has to do with my comment.

[@SirBolsón]

The Maori flag is unironically superior to the British Kiwi flag we have now, lmao! 😂😂

[@i_am_very_happy798]

Because Maoris are the original inhabitants of New Zealand....Many European people were placed there to change the demographics....But Maori resisted to disappear

[@sandeegrey5977]

@@i_am_very_happy798 You could say that for almost every civilization lol

[@coconutmuncher]

​@@sandeegrey5977 no it isn't. We islanders refused, and still does

[@cheeseknife3593]

Perhaps the Māori flag should be New Zealand’s national flag someday. I already foresee that future.

[@thegreenlandshark6086]

​@@cheeseknife3593that wouldn't be appropriate. The flag is meant to represent just Māori. It is not meant to represent the whole country.

[@Tj-yf9ej]

Tagolog...related?

[@lakas_tama]

yes but distant related to tagalog because they are both Austronesians

[@bwwlgaming]

The māori w is not pronounced w but v because wh is pronounced f and not ʍ

[@mcbatetens]

Moana ❤

[@KingsleyAmuzu]

Does this language sound like Filipino or Tagalog or Japanese or Indonesian or neither?

[@fancynika9559]

Nothing sounds Filipino or Japanese here. It sounds its own uniqueness. Smh

[@kilmerborges]

It's distantly related to Tagalog and Indonesian, but not to Japanese.

[@cheerful_crop_circle]

​@@kilmerborges Japanese is related to Russian and Turkish

[@mareksagrak9527]

@@cheerful_crop_circle Russian is Slavic and Indo-European to the hell, obviously it has nothing to do with either Japanese or Turkish. The relation between Japanese and Turkish, based on the "Altaic" theory is very uncertain and (rather for a good reason) rejected by most scholars, since there is not enough proof for it

[@kilmerborges]

@@cheerful_crop_circle There is no widely accepted theory that states that in Linguistics.

[@tpnpzauber4795]

Why it sounds like japanese

[@eolgrillo]

Simple syllable structures and small phonetiv inventories

[@LawrenceKoloamatangi-nf7rx]

it doesn't...

[@cheerful_crop_circle]

Japanese sounds more like Russian or the Turkic languages

[@cheerful_crop_circle]

Maori sounds Austronesian

[@kilmerborges]

Very similar vowel inventory and no consonant clusters.

[@mysteriousDSF]

You forgot to mention, that if Maori hadn't ceded sovereignty they wouldn't exist today.
