Synopsis

This book is a compilation of the New Zealand language written by Archdeacon William Williams. After years of collecting words and phrases from the indigenous language of New Zealand, Williams published this dictionary as a resource to facilitate communication and understanding between the Maori people and Pakeha (foreigners) and to preserve the unique lexicon of the Maori language. The dictionary is divided into two parts, with the first part being an English to Maori dictionary and the second part being a Maori to English dictionary. The author includes grammatical information and pronunciation guides to aid the reader's comprehension. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about the etymology and grammar of the New Zealand language.
