New Zealand – Languages

New Zealand has two (2) official languages, and they are Maori and Sign Language. 
Maori has seen its share of ups and downs throughout the years, but to date, it is still here. 
In 2006, when Sign Language was declared an official language this made New Zealand the first country to have this as an official language.
Nevertheless, English is spoken by about ninety-five percent (95%) of the people.
