The Maori language was not invented. Like all languages it evolved from use. It is related to other Polynesian languages, in particular the eastern group, which includes the Maori dialects of Rarotonga, Tahiti, Hawaii, and all of French Polynesia. It is less closely related to the Melanesian languages.
Currently, it is thought that the origin of the Polyynesian and Melanesian languages was from Asia.

The Maori people and culture have been present in New Zealand for over a thousand years. The Maori language, Te Reo Maori, has evolved over centuries through the oral traditions of the Maori people and was later transcribed by missionaries in the 19th century. It is not accurate to say that Maori was "invented", as it is an inherent part of Maori identity and history.
