"I remember when our old people said, it doesn't matter where you come from, go and learn the language and retain everything. Then when you return to your iwi, you can begin to learn your own dialect."
- Jarred Boon

Dialect is the thing that makes the language of each tribe different to another. In this episode of Waka Huia we learn about the intricacies of three different dialects, Ngāpuhi, Te Arawa and Tainui. Our language champions will talk about the importance of dialects and their passion and drive for the survival of our regional dialects.
