The Maori tribes in New Zealand have traditionally inhabited different parts of the country, with many living in the North Island and some in the South Island. Some of the prominent tribes include Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Porou, Ngāi Tahu, and Tainui.
The Maori language has been spoken in New Zealand since before the arrival of Europeans in the early 19th century. It was the dominant language of communication for Maori communities until colonization led to the introduction of English. Efforts to revitalize and promote the Maori language have been ongoing since the 20th century.
