About Maori

Te reo Māori is one of New Zealand’s official languages. It’s a member of one of the largest language families in the world and is spoken by around 150,000 people. It’s an endangered language, but kōhanga reo (“language nests” or schools) are working to boost the number of speakers of the language. And now, so is Drops.
