| 811044 | 2009-09-17 00:28:00 | What will happen next is that radio/tv news announcers will start pronouncing the name as "fhanganui". Then the local Maori will start complaining it is the wrong way to pronounce it. "There is also common ground on the issue of pronunciation. As the NZGB point out, to the untrained ear, there is less distinction between the local Ma-ori dialect pronunciation of ‘Whanganui’ and the pronunciation of ‘Wanganui’, than there is if ‘Whanganui’ is pronounced using the ‘f’ sound common to other areas of New Zealand." www.hrc.co.nz/.../07-Sep-2009_10-58-18_Subm_on_spelling_Whanganui_0809.doc as they used to say in The Archers....just you wait and see........ |

| 811048 | 2009-09-17 00:32:00 | Perhaps this website should now be written as Press Wh1 I note that Maori people pronounce the word Maori in many different ways ! |
