I would love to learn Maori. I think it has a beautiful and unique sound.

Of course, I still don't speak the last three languages I've tried to learn very well. sweatdrop

But anyway, am I right that it's pronounced May-or-ee and not Mow-ry? Or is it the other way around? You don't hear it said all that often in the States. redface
