I'm seriously beginning to fall in love with this language. I hope they continue preserve it. Can't help but utterly appreciate the differences in our languages! But then, I so prefer this kind of language; easy to pronounce and an accent not-so-hard to imitate.

i can sort of understand why people think it sounds like japanese- they have the same vowels, a similar syllable structure, and a similar if not identical rhotic

@SextonSounds 6 жыл бұрын

it is so beautiful and even if outnumbered by colonists etc, this language is still alive and medieval times are over, repressions have stopped and, even though it's easier and kind of more practical to speak English, every nation should learn, speak and respect the indigenous language(s) of lands where they live.

No, Maori belongs to the Malayo-Polynesian branch of the Austronesian language family; which means it is related to Malay, Indonesian, Tagalog and other Maritime Southeast Asian languages as well as Malagasy, Hawaiian and other languages spoken by Taiwanese aborigines and Pacific Islanders.

I bet none of you know of Proffessor Naoko Yui is. If you have researched, your would know old Japanese and Austronesian are cousin languages which both originated from the same language family “austro- japonic” or “old austronesian”. The Jomon Japanese were Austronesian themselves, that's why they speak an AUSTRONESIAN language. Don't learn modern Japanese and claim you know about the entire language and archaic versions of it. Stupid people.
