== == According to the 2008 estimate there are over 174 different languages spoken in New Zealand including sign languages. After English and Maori, the most common are Samoan (85,428 speakers), French (53,757), Hindi (44,589) and Yue (better known as Cantonese, spoken by 44,154 people). The number of French speakers is probably because of the French population in New Zealand, also because it is a subject taught in most schools, and because of the large scale of Francophone Immigration.

English is the most widely spoken and written language in New Zealand. It is one of the two official languages of the country.

Maori is the second official language. (The official name of the Maori language is "te reo Maori" which means, ironically, "the Maori language.") The Maori people are the indigenous ethnic group of Polynesians to New Zealand. Maori did not have an orthography until missionaries invented one during the colonial period. The orthography originally existed in a variety of variants, though it has since been standardized.

Both English and Maori may be used in Parliament, and translators are on staff at national government meetings, should a speaker choose to use Maori. This is an uncommon occurrence; it is most commonly experienced when a speaker addresses the body regarding a topic of concern to the Maori.

Of course, as is true in many countries, immigrant populations often use their native languages at home, though these languages are not offical languages.

Maori is only used in New Zealand and nowhere else in the world. Despite its official status, the language continues to struggle against being lost.

In the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi, Queen Victoria promised the Maori that their language would be protected. It was only recently that the Maori language has gathered widespread support. In the present, the Maori language is commonly used in the media and at school.

When Maori people moved to the cities in the 1940's, they felt pressured to speak English and children were raised without the Maori language. By the 1970's, the Maori language was close to being irrevocably lost.

A recent survey by the New Zealand government shows about 130,000 people speak some Maori.
