Hi guys. I have enjoyed reading your Persuasion Map and in the spirit of 'Devil's Advocacy' I have the following comments that I would like you to consider. There are a multiplicity of languages spoken in New Zealand and a wonderfully diverse range of cultures in Aotearoa. Is it only if a language is deemed official that it becomes important. What if I meet a French person? Should I be able to communicate? I also think you are being presumptuous stating that people know how to speak Maori. Even some folks in Aotearoa struggle to pronounce Te reo correctly. I think you have made a great start but now you need to explore in more depth. Love your work. Kind regards, Allan Robertson
