What language does new zealand speak

New Zealand is a bilingual country, meaning that there are two official languages: English and Māori (also known as Te Reo Māori).

English is the most widely spoken language in New Zealand, and it is the language used in most official contexts, such as government, education, business, and media. It is also the language used by the majority of the population in their daily lives.

Māori, on the other hand, is the indigenous language of New Zealand, spoken by the Māori people, who are the tangata whenua (the original people) of New Zealand. Māori is an official language and is used in many official contexts, such as government, education, and cultural events. It is also used in many Māori communities and is an important part of Māori culture and identity.

In addition to English and Māori, there are many other languages spoken in New Zealand, including Pacific languages such as Samoan, Tongan, and Cook Islands Māori, as well as Asian languages such as Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean.
