Te Puni Kökiri (Ministry of Mäori Development) means a group moving forward together. April 2009 speakers aged over fifty-five is small compared to the population in younger age bands. older speakers are also more proficient in the Mäori language than young adult speakers. Since 2001, there have been noticeable improvements in Mäori language proficiency levels within the Mäori population in this region. for example: speaking proficiency has increased from 15% in 2001 to 21% in 2006, and listening proficiency has increased from 27% in 2001 to 36% in 2006.3 Sixty-four percent of Mäori adults are dissatisfied with their level of proficiency in the Mäori language and desire to increase their language skill levels. Mäori Language uSe international research on language revitalisation suggests that for minority languages like Mäori to survive, intergenerational transmission is required. Mäori speakers are clustered together and are not spread evenly throughout the Mäori population. Thirty percent of Mäori households in Tämaki-Makau-rau have at least one Mäori language speaker. in just over half of these households there is only one speaker, limiting the possibility of language use in the home. Twenty-four percent of children or dependants live in households where there is at least one adult speaker of te reo, meaning that acquisition through intergenerational transmission is possible. for people with Mäori language skills, use of te reo Mäori in the home has increased since 2001, especially in communications with children and young people. for example: Mäori language interactions between adults and their pre-school children have Heoi, ko te tokomaha o ngä kaikörero neke atu i te 55 tau, he paku mehemea ka whakatauritehia ki te tokomaha o rätou kei raro iho i te 55 tau.

The use of the Mäori language in the community remains most common in Mäori cultural domains such as in hui and on the marae.

The HML 2006 Survey gathered information on Mäori radio and television, which shows that access rates and listening rates are high. Nearly all Mäori adults in Tämaki-Makau-Rau have access to Mäori radio and television. Sixteen percent of Mäori adults are learning te reo to some degree. This is a high percentage, and reflects the positive disposition Mäori have towards the language. There are around 1,400 Mäori children attending te reo based early childhood services in Tämaki-Makau-Rau. Schools in the region provide for around 4,500 Mäori children learning in te reo to some degree. This is 12% of the Mäori student population in Tämaki-Makau-Rau.

CONCLUSIONS Since the last HML Survey in 2001, the general health of the Mäori language in Tämaki-Makau-Rau has improved. The full report provides valuable information to inform the work of language planners who have already implemented targeted initiatives to address some of the issues revealed in the report. For example, Te Rünanga o Ngäti Whätua is working to promote te reo o Ngäti Whätua amongst Ngäti Whätua whänau. Over the next five years, the combined efforts of iwi and community groups have the potential to further improve the picture of language health in Tämaki-Makau-Rau. 1 For our reporting purposes, Tämaki-Makau-Rau is defined as the broader Auckland region. 2 For more detailed data, refer to the full report. 3 Amongst Mäori adults who can speak Mäori fairly well, well or very well. 4 These percentages combine the percentage of Mäori adults who used the Mäori language as a significant language of communication and the percentage of Mäori adults who made some use of the Mäori language in their interactions.
