Languages in Aotearoa paper launch, 5 March

New Zealand is superdiverse, having seen unprecedented increases in the ethnic, cultural, social and linguistic diversity of the New Zealand population embedded in a rapidly developing bicultural legislative system.

There are now 160 different languages spoken in New Zealand, and Auckland is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world. Is it time for New Zealand to have a more unified approach to languages?
