Māori is not the Polynesian language for which we have the oldest written records; that honour goes to Niuatoputapu and East Futunan. However, it is the subject of substantial documentation over the last 200 and more years. Over the same period, Māori has become a written language, not only through such documentation, but also through the transcription of its rich oral tradition and its use in the nineteenth century, and again increasingly in the present, in domains which are typically literate.
