More About Our Maori Pronunciation.
To the Editor. Sir-It is interesting to note the letters of several readers in your paper, in particular, Te Kara, Hamilton, VY. Southwood, and Arawa, Marton, The above writers desire to know the correct pronunciation of two Maori words, and are rather harsh in their criticism (Arawa, Marton, excepted) of the 2YA announcer (Mr. Drummond) at his "not so good" effort at Maori pronunciation. I may say that I was an interested listener to Mr. Drummond’s final Maori farewell to Lord Bledisloe, when he left these shores last March or April of this year. The Maori farewell message was excellently expressed, with only a slight foreign accent.-I am, ete.,
E.
