毛利语

毛利语（Maori），也被称为te reo，是新西兰土著毛利人的语言，同时也是新西兰的三种官方语言之一，其他两种官方语言为英语和新西兰手语。毛利语在毛利人从太平洋诸岛迁移到新西兰后，语音变化不大，使得不同地区的毛利人能够轻松沟通。^[1][2][3]

毛利语最初没有文字，后来随着英国移民的到来，采用了拉丁字母来拼写毛利语。毛利语的字母表包括15个字母，其中包含5个母音和10个子音。毛利语的发音在不同地区可能会有细微的差异，例如“R”是颤音，“Wh”在北部地区可能会发/h/或/ʍ/音。

毛利语存在地区性的方言，其中比较普遍的有Tainui和Waikato方言。

毛利语中的一些例文，如《世界人权宣言》的第一节，表达了人人生而自由，在尊严及权利上一律平等的理念，以及人应以兄弟关系的精神相对待。
