This glossary recognises the work and desire of many communities to become bilingual. With any national organisation such as Para Kore there is some tension between consistency of terms across the country and the desire to support and maintain local dialects. The words in this glossary have been researched and consulted on nationally, with the aim of helping groups, councils and communities to expand the usage of te reo Māori. It is acknowledged that for some terms, in some locations, local dialect should take preference.
