What is a native speaker of the Māori language? This presentation briefly discusses nativity, after which it shares the analysis of the grammar of fluent Māori language speakers. The presentation is based on research with two main foci; the first component analyses high frequency grammar components taken from oral transcriptions. Because speakers are native speakers from their particular tribal areas, there is potential to view this analysis as dialectal, to some extent. The second component compares grammar components of two fluent speakers recorded 15 years apart. The hypothesis is whether native language speakers’ application of particular grammar points can be affected over time. Do such results provide a glimpse into language shift?

He aha koia te tangata taketake nei ko te reo Māori te tino? Heoi tā tēnei he aro ki te  taketaketanga o te reo Māori,  ināhoki te taha wetereo me ngā whakatakotohanga reo i whakamahia-ā-wahatia ai e te hunga i pākeke ai i te reo Māori, ko te reo Māori hoki te reo matua o te kāinga. Ko te reo i tātarihia, ko ngā patopatohanga o ngā kōrero i whakapuakina ā-wahatia. He aro ki te  takotoranga o te reo hei whakataurite i te tauira kōrero ā-iwi. He whakataurite hoki i te āhua o te reo i hopukina tekau mā rima tau ki muri. Hei konā kua wānanga he aha tā te wā arataki i te āhua o te reo takoto, ka tahi. Mā konei hoki pea e whakatau ai, āe rānei, he tūtohu tēnei pito rangahau i te whakakitenga o te reo Māori me te āhei o te rerekē.
