Languages of New Zealand
There are several languages of New Zealand. English (New Zealand English) is the dominant language spoken by most New Zealanders〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Becoming a Kiwi )〕 and is one of three official languages of New Zealand. The country's de jure official languages are Māori and New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL). Other languages are also used by ethnic communities.
==Official languages==
English is a de facto official language by virtue of its widespread use.〔("Education and Language" ), p90, MFAT〕
The Māori language has had official language status, with the right to use it in legal settings such as in court, since the Maori Language Act 1987. There are around 70,000 native speakers of Maori out of a population of over 500,000 Māori people, with 161,000 of the country's 4 million residents claiming conversational ability in Māori.
New Zealand adopted sign language (New Zealand Sign Language or NZSL) as an official language on 10 April 2006.〔(Governor-General gives assent to Sign Language Bill ), Press Release: Governor General, 10 April 2006. Retrieved 11 April 2006.〕 It is now legal for use and access in legal proceedings including in court and access to government services.
