1480568 2021-09-18 04:23:00 Interesting thread - why is there such a revival in the use of Welsh and Gaelic etc. They are of no more practical use than Maori.

I think that we would ALL be better off being fluent in two or more languages with one of them being English.

I agree and can hold a conversation in two other languages apart from English. Both were useful to me at the time but neither was Maori, Welsh or Gaelic none of which have been any requirement for me to survive in the world. Should that change so shall I.

1480569 2021-09-18 06:06:00 Well if I’m going to learn a second language it’s going to be Doric. :p

That way I’ll be able to understand a good mate who breaks into it when he gets a little excited. ;)

1480571 2021-09-19 00:30:00 Welsh and Gaelic are being learned by Welsh and Gaelic people which is not the same situation that we have. If Maori want to learn Maori that's fine with me, but I don't intend learning it myself, and have resistance to having it shoved down my throat as has been happening. Richard (739)

Problem is , too many Maori dont want to learn it . cant be bothered or dont see the point.
Only after that changes, then we should have these discussions ?
