3.1.3 Dialect
Up one level
There are a number of dialects in te reo Māori.
Some examples of variations in pronunciation are Kai Tahu’s use of `k’ instead of `ng’ (e.g. raki for rangi, tākata for tāngata) or Tuhoe’s use of `n’ (e.g. rani, rangi). Taranaki descendants replace `h’ with a catch in the throat called a glottal stop (e.g. `aere for haere, or mi’i for mihi).
