in new zealand what language do they speak
Languages of New Zealand English is the de facto official and predominant language of New Zealand. Almost the entire population speak it either as native speakers or proficiently as a second language.[1] The New Zealand English dialect is most similar to Australian English in pronunciation, with some key differences. The Māori language (te reo Māori) of the indigenous Māori people was made the first de jure official language in 1987. New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) has also been officially recognised since 2006. Many other languages are used by New Zealand's minority ethnic communities.
