[TRiG_Ireland]

One thing I love about the New Zealand one is the occasional bits of te reo Māori that get used. I know that the cultural context is very different, but the affect is similar to Ireland: most people are not truly bilingual, but almost everyone knows some of the language, and dropping a few words or phrases into your English is quite normal. Just as I might end a story with sin é (lit. translation: "that's it").

Yes, whenua and pākehā are just a few examples of the Māori words that are now frequently used in the daily speech in New Zealand.
