A new study has found Te Reo Māori is flourishing among pre-schoolers, with nearly three quarters of four-year-olds using at least some Te Reo.
The research, led by Te Whare Wananga o Awanuiarangi, analysed information from Growing up in New Zealand, the country's largest study of child development.
It found about 20 percent of those children speaking or understanding simple sentences in Te Reo at age 4 were non-Māori.
Māni Dunlop spoke to the Executive Director of Research and Innovation at Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi, Professor Te Kani Kingi, about the study's findings.
