ARTICLES RELATED TO New Zealand English | | | |  New Zealand English: Encyclopedia II - New Zealand English - Māori influenceMany local everyday words are not English at all, being traditional Māori language names for local flora, fauna, and the natural environment, and some other Māori words have made their way into the vernacular.
The dominant influence of the Māori language (te reo Māori) upon New Zealand English is lexical. An 1999 estimate based on the Wellington corpora of written and spoken New Zealand English put the proportion of words of Māori origin ...

| | | | New Zealand English: Encyclopedia II - Culture of New Zealand - Attitudes The remoteness of many parts of New Zealand and the distance of the country from much of the developed world meant that things that were easily obtainable in other parts of the world were often not readily available locally. New Zealand has only recently experienced economic development outside farming, so traditionally, Kiwis are jacks-of-all-trades to some extent, willing to roll up their sleeves and have a go. Most highly industrialised countries produce experts trained in narrow fields of specialisation, but New Zealand professionals are often generalists as well. This reputation often makes New Zealanders ...

| | | | New Zealand English: Encyclopedia II - Commonwealth English - Canadian English's unique position
Commonwealth English - Words and idioms.
Canada, the Commonwealth country with the largest native-born native-English-speaking population outside of Britain, is unique in that its standard vocabulary, idiom, and accent tend to coincide with that of neighbouring speakers in the United States far more than with those of Britain or the rest of the Commonwealth. Most of the distinctive terms Britons identify as American English are used by Canadians as well, such as diaper, gasoline, elevator, and apartment. See also North American Engl ...

| | | | New Zealand English: Encyclopedia - Vowel length In linguistics, vowel length is the perceived duration of a vowel sound. Often the chroneme, or the "longness", acts like a consonant, and may etymologically be one such as in Finnish. While not distinctive in most dialects of English, vowel length is an important phonemic factor in many other languages, for instance in Czech, Fijian, Finnish, Japanese, Hawaiian, Classical Latin, Latvian, Old English, Samoan, Thai, and Vietnamese. It plays a phonetic role in the majority of English dialects, and is said to be phonemic in a few dialect ...

| | | | New Zealand English: Encyclopedia II - Culture of New Zealand - Introduction While British culture predominates within the country, Māori culture is increasingly being identified with New Zealand, due to haka displays by New Zealand sporting teams, and to tens of thousands of visitors who each year experience and film or photograph Māori culture events held at places such as Rotorua.
British and Irish culture in New Zealand has been significantly influenced by Māori and other Polynesians. Scottish influences are strong, mainly in the southernmost parts of the South Island. In general, early immigrants from other parts of Europe and Asia, and World War II refu ...
