TE REO MAORI.

E ai te ki a nga tangata matau, a nga tangata kua ata titiro nei kite tangi oia reo o ia reo, e ai ta ratou, ko te Reo Maori tetahi o nga reo ataahua atu i te ao katoa, he ngawari he ngohengohe. E kite ana hoki nga tangata Maori kua mohio nei ki etahi atu reo kite pai oto ratou na reo ake. He tokomaha nga pakeha, tans wahine, kei te ako i te Reo Maori, otira ki taku whakaaro kahore te Iwi Maori i te tino ngakau-nui ki to ratou reo, ko etahi Maori hold kua tu a pakeha nei te ahua e whakama ana kite Maori, mete reo maori ko nga ingoa tika mo enei tu tangata he wairangi. Ko te Maori ano kei te kaha te patu i tona reo, apopo, ka ngaro whenua, ka ngaro tangata, ka ngaro reo. Kua ngaro te hiere oto reo tangata i te aro maunga, kua whakaemi te Maori ki nga paenga o nga ngakinga a te pakeha tua ai i ana ngahere. Kua whakangarongaro te pewa o te paua, te kakatatanga o te tukutuku, kua whakana ko nga raweke a te pakeha, kua whakauruuru te whakairo ki ana hanga. Kua whaka-ngaro haere te kiri parauri, ko te kiri kotea inaianei, he kiri awhekaihe. Kua tutea te whioi ki nga wahi mokemoke, kua taka ko te parou i nga marae o nga whare mahitihiti ai. Kua raungaiti te huia ki Ruahine, kua koroki ko te reo kawa anake o te maina i nga urupuia. Ka ngetengete te tangata kite haere ma te waewae, kua wha ma te paid ma te tereina, ma te paihikara, a inana tata ake, ma te mctuka, a e kore pea e takitaro ±ma riro ma nga raweke ate pakeha e kuhu te kai kite waha, h.eoi ano ma te tangata ko te whakahamama i tana waha. Kua whakananu te reo inaianei, kua tapiritia kite reo kihi. Ngaro tikanga, ngaro reo, ngaro whenua, ngaro tangata, ngaro mana.

E te iwi, ehara kau, mo to tatou reo noa, aku hupuhe tokonga ake no te aroha. I tae tetahi minita pakeha kite kainga Maori, i whakarongo ai ia ki nga tamariki e waiata ana e himene ana e te reo Maori i te reo pakeha. No tana uinga ki ana tamariki ite tikanga o a ratou waiata kihai raton i mohio kite tikanga o nga kupu Maori ko te tikanga ia o nga kupu pakeha i mohio ratou ! He lohu tenei no te mate reo. He maha nga take e whakaaro ana toku ngakau kei te pehi kei te rumaki i te Reo Maori, me ata whakatepe e au enei take kia marama ai te titiro a te tangata :—• Tuatahi, ko to taua whakahanumi ki roto kite pakeha me ana mahi me ana tikanga, na konei to taua reo i to atu ki to ratou. Tuarua, Ko te kore o te Reo Maori e whakaakona i roto i nga kura Maori. E akona ana te huhua o nga wahi o te matauranga ki Te Aute otira ko te Reo Maori kahore. Hei te mutunga o te kura a te tamaiti i Te Aute kaore tona reo Ingarihi i tino pai, ko tona reo Maori kua hauwa, kua ngakau-kore hoki ia ki te reo o ona matua. Tuatoru, He kore no te Maori e whakaaro nui kite whakatika i tana korero i nga wa katoa, he kore kaore e kape i nga kupu pakeha mehemea e takoto ana ano te kupu Maori. E uru ana ano nga kaumatua ki tsnei he. E kite a ana e ahau i roto i nga pukapuka tuku mai ki Te Pipiwharauroa etahi kupu a te pakeha kahore nei i marama ki a au he aha rate tikanga. He tikanga tino he teneino tenei tikanga ka poriro te ahau o to taua reo rangatira. Ko to matou reo ko to nga tamariki inaianei kua tangi ke, kahore i tino rite ki to te Maori. Me whakaatu e au aku i mohio ai he tino he huanga hoki te takato ote reo. Ko tetahi he nui inaianei ko te whakahua i te maha o te tangata, ko te tikanga ke ko te toko maha. E he ana te patai c hia nga tangata, engari tokohm ; ko te hi a mo te kura mo te kohatu mo te aha, tena mo te tangata ko te tokohia. Kite pataia tokohia nga tangata, ka whakakokia e nga tangata kuare c rua. Ehe ana tenei, engari kia penei ke na, toAorua. Me te toko kia mua o te kupu tatau, ara, tokorua, tokowha* tae nca kite tokoiwa. Ata whakarangona te korero a te tangata akuanei ka man te he.

Ko tetahi he nui ano ko te whakalma i te wha ano e rite ki te reta ate pakeha kite / Ko nga tamariki te iwi e tino he ana i runga i tenei reta, e mea ana ratou mo te whawhai he fafai. Me ui ki nga tangata matau te whakahua tika i tenei kupu. Kahore he he o te whakahua i te kupu pakeha mehemea kahore he kupu Maori, otira kite wahi kupu Maori ka tango ite kupu pakeha. Me ata titiro enei kupu he e whai ake nei, tera atu ano etahi. Kua kite iho au i etahi kupu hou i etahi o a taua nupepa Maon ; kia tino tupato kite hanga i inga Impu pakeha he kupu nei ano a taua a te Maori mo aua kupu. Tena koa tirohia tenei ope taua e whai ake nei, ma te hunga e mo’ i 5 ana ki te Reo Ngatihi e titiao nga kupu ngarihi; —

Tera atu te nuinga o nga kupu poriro kei te whaoria ki roto i to taua reo pai, a apopo ka rite to taua reo ki a taua ano ka awhekaihe awhekaihe tangata awhekaihe reo. He tika ano te tango mai i nga kupu pakeha kahore nei a taua nei kupu hei whakawhiti, tena ko te ki “ kia rukauta” i te mea e marama ana ano te kupu Maori “ kia tupato,” he he rawa. Kia kaha ete iwi te pupuri i to tana reo kei takakinotia e te tangata kuare. R.T.M.K.
