Unironically banging. The writing system even makes a decent amount of sense as a way of writing English (can't get much worse than what we already have). Why is the audio so scuffed though?
Just FYI, 'Aotearoa' was not used as a word for New Zealand until 1855 (on record) by George Grey. There was no indigenous name for the islands as a whole before colonisation, nor much of a notion of a unified area. Edit: It also wasn't the treaty of Waitangi that declared NZ as a separate entity; that would be the Declaration of Independence (United Tribes stuff), which didn't even form any unified political entity, it just said that they weren't a part of any other country.
I'm a native new zealandic speaker, but I've always been told I was speaking english. Thank you for showing me who I really am
Really makes me think critically about how other languages are represented by foreigners cataloguing them.
As a native speaker of Great Plains 'Mercan, when I hear New Zealandic I can just about understand it, it's quite close.
