I don't know if it was ever illegal to speak Maori (te reo) in New Zealand. In NZ schools, children were discouraged (in older times) from speaking any language other than english, for the learning of that language was considered one of the important purposes of schooling.

But Maori, Latin, English and Gaelic have all been used in the NZ Parliament.
