How about we start the NEW ZEALAND language

[Lias]

Im thinking we have unoficially adopted a bunch of maori words anyways so why not absorb em into the english language and call it New Zealand english??
Like for instance -Farnow for Family
Kai for food
I'm thinking if the protesters have owt to winge about they might dissapear

The words "over my dead body" spring to mind. If I had my way the entire planet would be forced to speak BBC announcer english, and all the politically correct wankers would be rounded up and shot at dawn.

And with all seriousness it will never go away, unless one race wipes out all the others.. In which case they'd soon find some new way of discriminating against themsleves and start all over again.

I was pondering the whole racial inequality thing in godzone.

There isn't any racial inequality. The whites are strong and the coloureds are weak. What is unequal about that? lol

Our dialect of English is significantly different from country of origin already without going to the extra effort of total alienation.

I work with lots of Americans who have just arrived in the country. Some have a lot of difficulty with our colloquialisms. I recall seeing a book titled "Kiwi-Yankee Slanguage Dictionary" a few years back containing translations in both directions.
