If the language be lost, man will be lost, as dead as the moa. In 1800, te reo Maori was the only language spoken in New Zealand. By 1899, it was on the verge of disappearing altogether. In \u003ci\u003eKa Ngaro Te Reo\u003c\/i\u003e, Paul Moon traces the spiralling decline of the language during an era of prolonged colonization that saw political, economic, cultural and linguistic power shifting steadily into the hands of the European core.","brand":"Otago University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047717978352,"sku":"9781927322413","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781927322413_p0.jpg?v=1763635893","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781927322413","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
