I believe Te Reo is vital in Aotearoa. We have many place names in Māori and I like to hear them correctly pronounced. We SHOULD pronounce our place names correctly. Also the names of so many of our citizens are Māori, which again should be correctly pronounced. This is the first known language of New Zealand and we cannot afford to let it die. It is a beautiful language and we should Celebrate it. I would not like to see ANY language die, least of all this language from our land. Kia kaha ki te kōrero Māori.
