International Corpus of English (ICE)

ICE-New Zealand

ICE

English has been used in New Zealand for over 200 years, since the arrival of Captain James Cook in 1769. Together with Maori, it is the co-official language. It is estimated that Maori is spoken by only 10 percent of the population and is now thought to be an endangered language. 'New Zealand English' has gained increased recognition in recent years, particularly with the publication of the Dictionary of New Zealand English (Orsman 1998). Population: 3.9 million.
