	List of English words of Maori origin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Words of (New Zealand) Maori origin have entered many languages.
		Some of those words have in turn been exported from New Zealand English to other branches of the English language and to other languages.
		The accepted English common names of a number of species of animal and plant endemic to New Zealand are simply their Maori names or a very close equivalent:

		New Zealand English is the dialect of English spoken in New Zealand, sometimes humorously referred to within New Zealand as Newzild.
		New Zealand English is close to Australian English in pronunciation, but has several subtle differences often overlooked by people from outside these countries.
		Words such as "Fanny Pack" should be avoided in New Zealand (the New Zealand term is "beltbag" or "bumbag").

	Maori Words2
		This active use of the Maori language has been and still is responsible for the fact that white people today are able to understand a lot of Maori words and sometimes even use them themselves.
		Maori expressions for human beings in general or in particular and expressions for language are, by far, most frequent throughout both corpora, especially the names for both ethnic groups in the country, the Maoris and the pakeha.
		And because most hobbies in New Zealand do have their origin in England, because most people in New Zealand are Christians and because the language of science is English, it is improbable that Maori words become integrated in these parts of the language.

		English has not borrowed as extensively from Greek as it has from Latin; however, there are still thousands of words borrowed from Greek or based on Greek roots.
		The important point is that the meanings of these words are what they are because of the original meanings of the Greek roots in them.
		Not all words borrowed from Norwegian supplanted native English words.

	New Zealand English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many local everyday words are not English at all, being traditional Māori language names for local flora, fauna, and the natural environment, and some other Māori words have made their way into the vernacular.
		The 'i' in Australian English is lengthened relative to England English, possibly as a result of the influence of Italian immigrants.
		It is, however, also encountered in Scottish English, and given the relatively higher level of Scottish emigration to New Zealand than Australia, this may also be an influence.

	language - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about language
		The term language is also used for systems of communication with languagelike qualities, such as animal language (the way animals communicate), body language (gestures and expressions used to communicate ideas), sign language (gestures for the deaf or for use as a lingua franca, as among American Indians), and computer languages (such as BASIC and COBOL).
		English is today the most widespread world language, but it has so many varieties (often mutually unintelligible) that scholars now talk about ‘Englishes’ and even ‘the English languages’ – all, however, are united for international purposes by Standard English.
		A new word can be added to an existing language by a mere convention, as is done, for instance, with new scientific terms.

	The Kiwi English Project Report
		The influence of Maori vocabulary was, unsurpisingly, much more prevalent in the north and east of the North Island "kia ora" being listed often but a smattering of other Maori words used throughout, most commonly "tu meke" for wonderful.
		Words like "dufus" and "stoner" and more commonly "dude", "babe", "my nigga", "bro" (the most common word for "boy"), "homie", "fly" "da bomb",and the common use of "bitch" for girl seem to owe much more to south central LA than Papatoetoe, Taradale or Taieri.
		The results reflect both the vibrancy and the violence, the originality and the derivateness of much of the language used by young New Zealanders and raise several issues worthy of classroom study and discussion.

	The Racial Slur Database
		Originates from the word 'keikl', in Yiddish, which means 'circle', the reason being that the first Jewish immigrants in America, who were unable to sign their names, signed with a circle instead of a cross.
		Originated by the Spanish in the 14th/15th century as they were very exact in their racial classifications to determine a person's worth in society.
		Three possible origins: The slave owners would "pick a nincompoop" from the lineup of slaves; or the slave children who couldn't pick cotton "ain't pickaninny"; in some parts of the south, breasts are referred to as ninnys, so pickaninny was a reference to fls being used as wetnurses.

		Originally written by Viktor NÃ©meth on September 12, 2004 2:34 AM I've heard once that the American Dollar comes from the Hungarian TallÃ©r, which in the mid ages was the coin currency, and in some "richer times", it was made out of gold.
		I kinda have the feeling that some nations try to claim that one word or another is originating from their language so that they'd be more "cool" or something...

	Etymology
		When a butterfly emerges from its chrysalis it voids its last larval meal and the waste byproducts of metamorphosis in meconium, a fluid that is most often blood colored (which would lead one to “bloodfly” not “butterfly”).
		Gonepteryx rhamni, Pieridae) of England are butter-colored, or that, as author Samuel Jackson suggested, butterflies and the churning of butter are the simultaneous harbingers of spring, or that the word derives from the old myth that witches and fairies stole butter in the night, in the form of butterflies.

		The thesis is concerned with aspects of grammatical structure of mixed constituents involving Ewe, a Ghanaian language, and English, the official language and sole medium of formal education in Ghana.
		It is shown that the data from the Mobile Unit disprove the theory of a Cockney origin of NZ English, while strengthening the case for an explanation consisting of multiple other factors: Australian influence, a "swamping" effect of south-east English dialects, determinism and drift.
		Trudgill argues that the surviving features of a focussed new-dialect are determined by the dialect mixture of the founding population, and owe more to the numerical advantage of certain features in the new speech community (with some leeway given to issues related to markedness in borderline cases) than to questions of prestige, stigma or identity.

		The study is based on a large crosslinguistic corpus of narratives, all elicited by the same picture storybook, in English, German, Spanish, Hebrew, and Turkish, from preschool and school-age children, as well as adults.
		Slobin warned that it may be a mistake to focus on "simple sentence-level descriptions," excluding "discourse level phenomena."
