"...Modern Te Reo is unintelligible to them."


"Modern Māori language is colloquially referred to as ‘fruit salad Māori’. My elders do not understand this new form it has taken; modern Te Reo is unintelligible to them."
~ Dianne Landy, co-founder of Mana Wāhine Kōrero, from her post 'Mana Wāhine Kōrero Response to (now deleted) Stuff article Vs. Sean Plunket'
