| Summary | "Grammar of the New Zealand Language" by Robert Maunsell is a linguistic guide written in the mid-19th century. The book serves as a comprehensive grammar of the Māori language, focusing on its structure, pronunciation, and various grammatical rules. It aims to provide readers with a clear understanding of the Māori language, especially for those interested in learning it accurately. The opening of the work presents various introductory notes including the method for representing vowel lengths and the usage of italics in the text. The author discusses the necessity of this second edition in response to the increasing demand for learning the Māori language, mentioning that many complexities have been removed to cater to beginners. Following this, there is a brief overview of the dialects of Māori spoken in the North Island, demonstrating the language's diversity while emphasizing the shared grammatical principles amongst them. The preface sets a scholarly tone, highlighting the author's dedication to explaining the language systematically for learners. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
