The nine words of that last sentence, for example, are a rich blend of Anglo-Saxon, German, French, Greek, Dutch, Norse and Latin - seven languages, all welcomed.
No language is as accommodating as English, and the over 40 languages (by my count) that it accommodates includes Maori when a Maori word like 'mana' conveys a shade of meaning not previously found in the lexicon.
But if the Wellington cultural Marxists, as part of their global mission to white-ant and bring down all things Western, think they can destroy the English language by a thousand cuts (or street signs), and they think declaring war on over 80% of their employers is the way to advance their political careers, I advise them to have a chat with Celia Wade-Brown.
Do you remember the binding referendum where New Zealanders voted to elevate Maori to the status of official language? Me neither.
Can you read the bit in the Treaty of Waitangi that says that sovereignty-for-protection agreement was a partnership? (Let alone a 50/50 one!) Me neither.
(Maybe it's in invisible ink on the back?)
Can you show me the definition of 'taonga' in the Maori dictionary current in 1840 (linguistic advisor Hongi Hika) that includes the concept of treasure that might conceivably include the Maori language?
('Tao' means spear and 'taonga', according to Hongi, meant 'property procured by the spear' - ie stuff confiscated from the neighbours you just killed and ate.)
Can you see why what we're seeing in the city for the time being known as Wellington is just the latest incremental step in a linguistic and cultural and political reverse takeover by tribalists in league with international socialists - the former head of whose youth wing is now your prime minister?
