IMPORTANT CORRECTION: Alien Weaponry are in fact of Maori descent! Thank you everybody for pointing that out!
Everything about Maori culture seems so mysterious and captivating: enigmatic patterns and tattoos, energetic haka dance and of course the beautiful language. This is a small presentation of Maori language, where it came from and how it functions.

That was freaking awesome. You are a true linguaphile, and I admire how you present such a wide variety of languages.
She was wrong about so much
Very wrong about majority of it
It's not awesome, as it's not accurate. Only watch learning videos if the person in the video is from the country or race that they are talking about.
@@bingonamo7520 Seriously? Because someone not of the race or from the country couldn't possibly know anything about it or be accurate? Wow! Seems like there are a few other commenters who are Māori or of Māori decent who disagree.
@@elric58 Well she WAS inaccurate. Most NZers would know what a Maori tattoo looks like and most would know the guys from Alien Weaponry are part Maori. What's the point in people watching this to learn, when people are being told things that are completely wrong.
Alien Weaponry is a thrash metal musical trio from Waipu, New Zealand, formed in Auckland in 2010 by brothers Henry and Lewis de Jong. The trio consists of drummer Henry de Jong, guitarist Lewis de Jong and, since August 2020, bass player Tūranga Morgan-Edmonds. All three members have Māori ancestry and a number of their songs are written in the Māori language.
Chur arhat band is fucking awesome bro. As a proud Māori I have nothing but huge respect for them
table and chur@@Eskii_NZL
I loved seeing my language broken down that way. Something that most Maori probably wouldn't even think too much about. Well done! Pronunciation was really good too.
So glad you liked it ☺️
Better than most (NZ) Pakeha!

This was actually a pretty good presentation! Your accent is really cute. However, I have to correct you on one point: even though the guys from Alien Weaponry (I freakin' love this band!) all look like Pakehas - Kiwis of European descent, Henry and Lewis actually have very proud Maori whakapaka and that's the reason they speak and sing in Te Reo so well. I just don't understand what the Aztec tattoo at 8:40 was doing there...I guess it was meant to show a Maori design, like your moko kauae on the video thumbnail. Good effort overall though!
Not one musket among the breach loaders . But! The IHI!!! Was there! Maakora was there!!! Te MANU also floated alongside HONGI !!!
Agreed, the only things I could fault in this video! Not used to such good research and pronunciation
In the Americas, particularly in Latin America, that 'Aztec' style of tattoo is called Maori. I don't know why.
I pointed out the exact same 2 mistakes awhile ago and have been under attack for it ever since.
I love alien weaponry! Te Reo metal just sounds fitting
It looks like you're dancing when you speak, your passion for your subject is infectious!
Holy Heck, your pronunciation caught me off guard. Your bloody awesome lady from a Māori. This video is highly regarded. You got my Sub and like.
Wow, thank you!
Churrrr
Kia ora nga mihi nui kia koe... so great that you have a love for Te Reo Maori. I really enjoyed your video and Alien Weaponry (The rock music band) that you mentioned in your video are actually Maori. They whakapapa back to Te Arawa, the music video is Ngapuhi (Tribe from the North) with muskets invading the Te Arawa people in the music video. A reference to the boys whakapapa. Kia ora.
That's awesome, thank you for sharing!!!
As a Maaori person of Waikato and Ngaati Pukenga descent who is trying to learn Maaori, I am really impressed by this video. This seemed really well-researched, not many New Zealanders are this researched, let alone someone all the way in Latvia!
Fun fact, even though nouns don't usually have number, number is expressed via articles! For example, you mentioned the article "te", there is actually a separate article, "ngaa", meaning the same thing but plural.
By the way, I'm kind of curious to know where you got the pattern from your moko kauae from? I'm guessing not many people know what all the symbols mean in Latvia, so you must have done really good research! Ka pai, e hoa!
By the way, if you haven't done this already, it might be cool to check out Te re Moriori? It's an extinct relative of Maori traditionally spoken in Rekohu, or the Chatham islands that is currently undergoing a revival.
I like your energy. Māori is my second language and I currently speak it at an intermediate level. Some of the interpretations were not entirely accurate, but I can see no malice was intended. I'm interested to know what you first language is and where you're from. I might find out by looking at some of you other videos I guess.
It's so awesome that you speak this unique language! I'm from Latvia ☺️
You are fantastic! ❤️
Great choice of language, I always find the Polynesian languages and cultures fascinating.
Thanks for this great video. Great fun to watch. Learned something new, also my 12year old son ("Mana"). Love from Germany🇩🇪
Hey the moko on your thumbnail really suits you, and what a great presentation! Kia ora Julia!
This is great. I love that you have taken the time and care with your Te Reo pronunciation.
I just discovered your channel and it is wonderful and informative. I hope you continue to make these videos.🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you, I will for sure 😉
Congratulations for this very interesting contribution to a first approach to Maori language. Very nice maps and pictures to keep us entertained all the way through.
Very interesting, it really makes me happy to see an indigenous culture flourish!
Take note @JuLingo:
The origins of my language came
from the Kākā bird! In its throat it carried
the seeds, manatawa and manapou!
From Hawaiki to Aotearoa, came with
it the essence of my language!
From its throat, it spouted the seeds!
And thus grew the tawa tree!
Its kernel was the language of karakia!
Binding us to the spiritual world!
Where Ranginui and Papatūānuku
begot all
their children!
And in this world they debated
making the first utterances of the language!
An ancient language of the Gods!
Turning to the world they grasped,
Tangaroa with the crashing seas,
Ruaumoko rumbling at the bossom!
And their reverberating echoes heard!
A changing world, and the tawa grows
with a vocabulary anew with words!
Sometimes mixing with English!
Yet, this is the origins of my language
this is awesome 👍
@@JuLingo please forgive me. Hope this guides you well!

I always enjoy your videos, great research. A little note: the tattoo you shows us in the 8:40 is actually an aztec symbol. It's appears in the Mexican 10 pesos coin.

Xd i think that was on purpsose, she was talking about how some.people mix the maori culture whit theirs
The Polynesians are known to have made landfall in the Americas.
I've been enjoying these videos on languages of the world, but the shout out to Alien Weaponry just made me love your channel even more. And yes, as others have already stated all of the band have a Maori lineage.
Love your videos! Once again, a masterful presentation.
Thanks... It was very interesting :) nicely done :)
That was an awesome linguistic explanation of Maōri, I really liked your video. The alphabet is simple but it seems to share east asian grammar like Japanese and Korean have particles too, and what is super interesting is how the verb comes before the subject whereas in Japanese an Korean the verb goes at the end. Thank you for teaching me :D
More Japanese I'd say
Another awesome video!
Thanks Julie. Fascinating video!
Discovered the channel today. Aleady listened to four videos. Very interesting!
Kia ora! Thanks for the video on Te Reo Maori from my homeland! Your pronunciation wasn't bad either - good job!
@@JuLingo I'm not a native speaker but I can tell good pronunciation from the bad attempts of many New Zealanders who don't speak Maori. You did a great job with your pronunciation for the video!
Thank you Julie, that was an awesome video.
There are a lot of folks correcting you on certain points.
At the end of the day your video is informative.
Just like everything online you must take it with a grain of salt as to the authenticity and actual facts.
You done a great job.
Ka pai kare
Thank you for your comment! I really don't mind some healthy criticism, of course I can't learn the whole foreign culture in a couple of weeks, even though I do the best I can ☺️ my main point is to raise people's interest about language diversity and especially smaller languages of our planet, to talk about it, so more people learn that they exist and get interested in them ☺️
I love all your videos! I just subscribed and binged them all. They really do give a brief summary of the language like culture, writing, origin, etc. and very informative. Please do more asian/austronesian languages like Tagalog or the Philippines languages :)
Really happy you enjoyed it! My goal is to make much more videos and to cover austronesian languages as well as the other ones. Really hope it's gonna be possible soon ☺️
I get so excited when you upload! I always wonder what mysterious language you’ll talk about next:) this did not disappoint! So interesting the Maori language, people and their culture. I just rewatched your Georgian language video for the 3rd time:p I just came back from traveling in Georgia. Didi Madloba! (Thank you!)
KALUMO Georgia is one of my top favourite countries in the world :) it’s uniquely beautiful and rich in culture and history. The nature is breathtaking too. You’d love it!
Julingo this is a brilliant channel! brava
What an awesome video I've just watched :D
Love your channel!
Cheers from southern Baltic neighbours :D
Kia Ora mō tēnā - thank you for this. I am Māori currently in the process of learning my beautiful language and thoroughly enjoyed this video!
There are only two points I wanted to mention: the clip of Te mātārāe i Ōrehu performing at Te Matatini is of them singing the Samoan part of the song as they dedicated their Waiata Tira to Samoa in respect of the loss of life there after the measles outbreak. The second half of the song is in Māori (though there are some Samoan lines there too) so if you were wanting to relate the song to the pronunciation of the Māori language, best to take a snip from a little later in the song :)
Secondly, the Ka tense marker is actually used to indicate future tense. It can be used for present tense depending on the context/iwi but the more common present tense markers are Kei te and E (verb) ana ☺️
Ōtira, tino mīharo to mahi e hoa!
such an amazing informative video ngā mihi nui!! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh nice, I used to be interested in Maori culture. Don't remember much about it, but it's nice to learn about the language. Loved the video. The animation with the letters being dropped out of the boat was pretty cute.
love the channel and your passion for languages
thank you for support ☺️
That thumb nail got me, that moko kaue looked stunning on you. Though I imagine it caused a bit of controversy lol.
It would be great if you uploaded videos more often! Great content!
that's really my biggest wish right now! i'm trying hard, but well this summer has been extra busy because of the thesis. But the new video should be ready next week ☺️
Thankyou for pronouncing our language correctly, it shows you took the time to learn it. ka pai ehoa
Thank you for making videos, and covering Maori!
My pleasure ☺️
looking forward to a video about Hungarian one day, its so scary and fascinating ! beautiful but takes forever to learn properly :D keep up the good work
Lora thank you! Oh yeah, Hungarian, the different guy 😅 have to do a video about it ☺️
JL, as usual loving your videos. I had Alien Weapons in my head the whole time, so seeing you feature the band for a second I cheered "Hell yea!". If I'm not mistaken those boys aren't full Maori, but at least a few of them are part Maori and attended local cultural centers growing up. Love it.
You're hilarious! I've seen similar videos, but...
but NOTHING...
Nothing quite this fun!!! Thank you for making this information so digestible through humor.
thank you so much for this very motivating introduction in this beautiful language.
Well done, Julie! I was born "across the Ditch" from Aotearoa, and live now in Mindanao Philippines with my Filipina wife who speaks fluent English, Tagalog, Binisaya, Boholano, Ilonggo, and her tribal language, Higaonon Binukid. I've loved learning Tagalog and Binisaya, but as yet I only know a little of Higaonon Binukid. The languages here follow the same sentence structure as Te Reo, and also use various markers. "Ng" is pronounced the same way as in Te Reo. There is no "C", "F", "J", "Q", "V", "X" or "Z". In Binisaya (Cebuano), originally there were no vowels "E" or "O", but they were introduced by the Spaniards. There is no gender, no noun or verb conjugations, and markers indicate tense, focus (subject) and object. "Ba" is the question marker. Words can be spelled with either "I" or "E", and "O" or "U", but are always pronounced as "I" and "U". The languages are phonetic.Including English, I understand there are 187 different languages in the Philippines, which might be why there are more consonants. However, many languages are not influenced too much by others due to isolation. Spanish loan words are the only ones to exhibit gender. Here in Mindanao we count 1 to 10 in Binisaya, and from there on in Spanish! People from Cebu and the Visayas will use Cebuano numbers.
When I visited I learned that they also use mata for eyes and a lot of their numbers sounds like tagalog...
@@mariechellavergara9834 that's not a surprise. It would be interesting to see just how much there is in common. I like the Austronesian languages for their relative simplicity, and the lack of gender and case endings, plus the fact that they are phonetic, unlike English. I think Filipinos do a very good job at learning English, because it is so different from the native Filipino languages.
Tagalog is distantly related to Maori and the other Polynesian languages
@@shaunmckenzie5509 Tama na! It's true! They are all Austronesian languages, and there is a theory that all Austronesian languages developed from the indigenous languages of Taiwan. Also, some Filipino languages have loan words from Hokkien Chinese, which is no surprise considering that Taiwan is close to the northern part of Luzon, and Hokkien Chinese was spoken in Taiwan. The appellations "kuya" and "ate" for older brother and older sister respectively are examples.
I never Comment on CZcams but as a Pākehā from Whakatāne, New Zealand, I am very impressed! I have learnt more about the structure/history of the Māori language on this video than I did at school. Great pronunciation and research!👏 You are very welcome to come visit this beautiful serene country!⛅🏞️🌈
Well done for explaining our history and acknowledging our language. Thank you and Ngaa mihinui.
Holy Cow.....That was sooo awesome.
My favourite JuLingo so far 💛💛💛
From 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘😁
Wonderful information! Please do one for Philippine languages like Filipino/Tagalog or Visayan. They're also members of the Austronesian language family :)
YAY! This video really helped me with my homework. Thanks.
Glad it helped!
Excellent work. Thank you.
Thank you too!
I lived in New Zealand for four months in the North Island, and I always wondered why Maori words never ended in consonants. What an interesting phenomenon! Sweet as!
Enlightening. Especially about the 'mana' as life force.
Do you have any interest in making a video on the Goidelic language of Gælige?
The Irish have a boat culture similar to this Polynesian one. Only in the Irish the The Tuath Dé Danann came by ship.
Sláinte!
I learned about a language I knew nothing about AND got a new band to headbang to. Thanks, Julie.
The fact that she threw in alien weaponry is simply amazing.
I really enjoyed this video! Kia ora!
Very helpful. Subscribed your channel too. Bless you stay safe.
Can you talk about the Filippino language some day? It's not mandatory though ☺☺☺
And nice video explanation you make Julie! ✌ from Bulgaria!
profound and lively explanation love the way you described their growing distaste for vowels
you mean consonants.
@@echo7759 yes my mistake
@@titicoqui lols .. all good 👍🙂
Good video, great pronunciation. And FYI, Alien Weponary, the metal band, are of Maori descent, even if they are muggles, lol.
Pleasantly surprised to see Alien Weaponry on a video about language. I saw them live in Chicago several years ago. I agree, Maori and metal are a great combo.
Hello! I really like your videos, you are doing great job. Can not wait for new ones haha
May I ask where are you from?
Good luck with your channel
I'm from Latvia ☺️ and the new video is coming next week (hopefully) 🤞🏻
Thank you very much. It is very nice video. You are very impressive.
Amazing Julie- how do you know all these languages? I'm in awe!
nice presentation dear!!
thank you ☺️
Hello, I would like to point a mistake: the tattoo that you show around 8:40 is actually the inner circle of the “piedra del sol” (sun stone), a sculpture representing the cosmovision of the mexica (aka the aztecs). This circle represents the (current) sun god Tonatiuh surrounded by the suns of the four previous eras (the symbols inside the large squares), and a ring with the symbols of the twenty days of the mexica months. However, I don’t know if the patterns below it are of maori origin.
Anyway, nice video; it seems you’re still trying new stuff to find your own style. Hope to see more videos in the future, keep up the good work!
There is nothing to the tattoo that originates from Maori. Most facts are very wrong as well.
Very interesting. Thanks for this.
Thank you!
As ever an intriguing & fun video :) One of your comments made me go & look up manna (hebrew...possibly) which's meaning has also had an influence on gaming lore, though more niche :)
Very cool. Thank you.
That place name is longer than Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch! These videos are so good, especially her humour
Love your channel.Nice style of narration.
What's your language,are you Swedish?
Talar du Svenska?)
Awesome video! One thing, the consonants ng and wh are digraphs, not diphthongs. Diphthongs are when 2 vowels come together in 1 syllable. A digraph is a pair of characters representing one sound. Keep the videos coming please!
I hope you make as many videos as Langfocus!
I learned so much about Maori; beautiful video! Please do Hawaiian (‘Ōlelo Hawaiʻi) one day!
You have a really refreshing way to present languages, but I need to correct one fact: The metal band Alien Weaponry has (half) semi-Maori members! They do a lot to recall the history of the ancestors as in the song that you have put in your video...
Who are you to say semi ? What a dumb thing to say
The 2 brothers are of maori decent there whakapapa traces back to Ngati Pikiao around Rotorua area .
There's no such thing as a Semi-Māori.
Wow that was great! So interesting. Ka pai!👍 Where are you from?
Māhalo for talking about the Maori language.
I'm Hawaiian and, as I'm sure you must know, Hawaiians like Maori, Tahitians, Samoans, Tongans, Marquesans, Tuamotuans and other Polynesians are very closely related.
I must commend you on your excellent research on the Maori language even to the accuracy of your pronunciation.
One thing that you should know is that the extreme isolation of Polynesians on their individual island groups meant that there was no need to develop a system of written language because the development of writing was a function of the need to communicate with foreigners as the result of trade and Polynesians were so isolated from each other and from human societies 😢living on land that we could communicate easily with other Polynesians because our Polynesian root language was similar enough for Polynesian groups to communicate with one another.
But we didn't need to develop a system of writing because we only ever encountered other Polynesians and our root language was the same so we could easily with one another.
Also we understand and utilize the power of sound (vibration) to the extent that we have so stories of our people being able to repel invasion by utilizing the power of chanting in unison to create a force field that could repel an invasion fleet.
Also our Hawaiian origin story is called Ka Makali'i Kumulipo Mo'olelo o nā Kānaka Oiwi o Hawai'i or "The Pleiadian Origin Story of the Native People of Hawai'i" because our origin story speaks of our progenitors, Wākea and Papahānaumoku, as being Pleiadian Royal half siblings.
Wākea descended to the summit of the mountain that still bears his name, Mauna a Wākea - the tallest mountain on Gaia.
When he arrived on Earth he met, fell in love with and married his Royal Pleiadian half sister, Papahānaumoku (Papa) who was born on Gaia.
Together they produced children who are the Ali'i, Hawaiian Royals who trace their genealogy back to Wākea and Papa.
Keep up all of the great linguistics work that you do. Māhalo piha iā ka hana pono.

That was amazing!
I found this extremely helpful however did want to say alien weaponry does consist of three members of Maori descent!!! This is actually the reason I was introduced into the language and the reason I would like to learn listening to their songs taught me things of the culture I wanted to research when I dove into that I needed to know more. I found all pronunciations extremely helpful thank you for the video!
A lovely discription. May I point out something that you may not have thought of? How common is that dual pronoun structure? That is a HUGE clue on another language that affected all Oceanic languages. You will be amazed! It's not something too many people pick up on.
Alien Weaponry is a thrash metal musical trio from Waipu, New Zealand, formed in Auckland in 2010. All three members have Māori ancestry and a number of their songs are written in the Māori language. Henry Te Reiwhati de Jong, guitarist/singer Lewis Raharuhi de Jong and, since August 2020, bass player Tūranga Morgan-Edmonds. Their tribal connections are with Ngāti Pikiao and Ngāti Raukawa. Great video, by the way! :)
Someone may have mentioned this already but the two brothers of the original 3 band members do in fact have Maori heritage and the new member that joined last year does too FYI
Hey there! new to your channel! I am obsessed with language too! THanks for the vids! Hey, there is a parallel you may not know of... the harappan civ in india/afghanistan has script that matches the maori script on easter island.... I am just dying to know how that could have happened! -Rose
Kia ora Julie great pronunciation of te reo Maori. 👍👍👍
wow great contents appreciate your works ,that ıs also what want to work on. because ı feel everything hiddden in the languages especially old ones
The cat was like, "get me away from this crazy lady!"
nicely presented
Thank you so much 🌹❤
Beautiful video❤❤❤❤❤❤
LOVE MAORI CULTUR🕊🌳
Really interesting - thanks :)
за кота отдельный лайк, а за метал группу вообще спасибо
Me: Oh wow she's done a video on my culture. *hears her pronunciation* "SHE'S SPEAKING CLEAR MAORI OMG!". Props to you for the pronunciation, I honestly wasn't expecting it to be so good as even people here in New Zealand still half-ass it at best.
Thanks Miss Julie. You are so beautiful and I love to hear you talk.
The definite article is strikingly similar like in some Indo-European languages, like eng: the, greek: tis, bulgarian: te, ta, to, etc.
Very nice presentation very interesting 🇵🇱
Thank you! 😃
As a Scandinavian, I immediately got asosciations to Finnish when hearing the samples of the spoken language. Far away as far as language families are concerned, but both being rich in the use of vowels. Just watched the video on Mongolian before this one, which was quite the contrast with being almost a consonant-only language!
Great pronunciation for someone who's not even Kiwi, let alone Māori. Gotta say, though, 1st century AD is the earliest date I've ever heard for the arrival of Māori here, by quite a long way. Modern archaeology puts the first settlement at mid 13th century. I've heard a Māori estimate based on genealogy that puts it in the last century or two of the first millennium.
I should also add that ng and wh are digraphs (like English th and sh), not diphthongs.
Did you know that the Māori word for "what" - aha functions mainly as a noun, but can also function as a verb? It even has a passive ending -tia! The Māori for "What has happened to you?" is "Kua ahatia koe?" Literally, "You have been whatted?"
Overall though, I'm impressed with the accuracy and with the care you have taken over this. I've enjoyed several of your other language videos recently, and this gives me increased confidence in the information you've shared there.
Mā te Atua koe e manaaki!
That's one reason why I love Heavy Metal, it's so great, and diverse, that it's passion is expressed from languages all over the world. As a massively multilingual speaker, this is heartwarming, but also forward thinking and I appreciate it. If I may say in Maori: He pai ki ahau te reo Maori.
Vanakam 🦚
Thank you for sharing
Good job thank you.
I was very fortunate to spend six months in the North Island many years ago. Truly 9ne of the most beautiful countries I've ever been to.. a close runner up to my native Scotland. Although I do prefer your weather. Found many cultural similarities with the highlanders of Scotland. An oppressed people with a diminished language, cultural presence in our own nations. Celtic and Polynesian brothers
