Te Oranga o te Reo Māori 2006

This report provides an overview of the health of the Māori language in 2006, and makes some comparisons with the health of the Māori language in 2001. It considers the health of the language in three areas: status, knowledge and acquisition, and use.

Te Puni Kōkiri advises that users exercise caution when interpreting results from the 2006 Health of the Māori Language survey. This is due to limitations in the 2006 survey design that in particular affect comparability with the 2001 Health of the Māori Language survey.
