Kiwi is not a language; kiwi are birds native to New Zealand. Because these birds are very distinctive and unique to New Zealand they are the official national bird of New Zealand. The term Kiwi has been adopted as a casual term for Pakeha (non-Maori) people from New Zealand. The berry fruit formerly called 'Chinese Gooseberries' were given a name change to Kiwifruit for marketing reasons. New Zealand's official languages are English, Maori and NZ Sign Language.
That is the correct spelling of the bird name kiwi (also the fruit, the Chinese gooseberry).When applied as slang for persons from New Zealand, it is capitalized Kiwi.
It is not known when or by whom the kiwi, a small, flightless bird of New Zealand, was discovered. It can be speculated that the first inhabitants of New Zealand, now known as the Maori, were the ones who discovered this bird.
