About This Book

A practical, revised grammar of the Māori language that combines phonetic instruction (use of macrons and breves) with a survey of regional dialects and a systematic treatment of articles, pronouns, numbers, and syntax. It emphasizes usage for learners by simplifying technical niceties from earlier editions, supplies numerous illustrative examples and notes on orthography, and offers editorial corrections and appendices addressing dialectal variants and spelling conventions to aid accurate reading, pronunciation, and composition.
