New Zealand (Aotearoa) – Dates for the 2020 Māori Language Week are September 14-20.
Te wiki o te reo Māori (Māori Language Week) is a popular, government-sponsored initiative promoting the use of Māori language. The week is part of the broader Māori language revival and raises public awareness for Māori language revitalization, learning, and public usage.
