History, 1821-2003[takatā pūtake]

I see from the NZ Ministry of Education 2003 discussion draft that the Bible was translated into Rarotongan in 1888. That "MinEdu" document is well worth reading - but prepare for a long loading-time because it's 101 pages of PDF. Robin Patterson 22:17, 2 Hōngongoi 2006 (UTC)

This is the revised edition of the Bible. John Williams started the translation in 1828 from the tahitian version, which can explain some borrowings from tahitan. Missionaries started printed some extracts in 1840 and a complete version was first published in 1851 by Pitman and Buzacott. In the same manner, a quick attempt of teaching NZ Maori at school in the years 1940 produced others borrowing. Thanks for your support for the creation of a CK maori wikipedia. It is not easy to motivate people. Internet is slow and expensive in Cook Islands (only dial up connection) and i think people are a bit afraid to be criticised by the "purists" of the reo. That's a shame, it can be a useful tool to promote the language, as it is with the Maori wikipedia. Moreover there is the classical debate on the writting system. As i said most people and local publications refuse to write the macron or the glottal for different reasons. One of them (a sort of non say) is that it was first introduced by papa'a (pakeha)linguists. So i imagine they think it is a sort of linguistic colonization. There is also the problem of the islands rivalry and the dialectal variations. Kia manuia

Tūmanako[takatā pūtake]

Nō te mea kua tohua tēnei o ngā tuhipānui hei maramara, kua huri ōku whakaaro ki te kōrero mō Rātā me tana rākau. Ko te tūmanako kia waiho te maramara nei mā ngā tāngata matatau ki te reo Māori, ki tērā o ngā taonga o Aotearoa nei, e whakapai i runga i ngā tikanga whakapai, kia tupu ake hei rākau whakaruruhau, hei Tōtara, hei Kauri rānei i te wao-nui-a-Tāne. Tēnā, whakaputaina ō whakaaro ki Wikipedia:Kōrero. Nō reira, tēnā tātou katoa Kahuroa 04:33, 13 Poutū-te-rangi 2007 (UTC)
