CAPITAL: In 1865, Wellington became the capital city in place of Auckland,

which William Hobson had made the capital in 1841. The Parliament of New Zealand had
first met in Wellington on 7 July 1862, on a temporary basis; in November 1863, the Prime
Minister of New Zealand, Alfred Domett, placed a resolution before Parliament in
Auckland that "... it has become necessary that the seat of government ... should be
transferred to some suitable locality in Cook Strait [region]." Apparently there had been
some concerns that the more populous South Island (where the goldfields were located)
would choose to form a separate colony in the British Empire. Several Commissioners
invited from Australia, chosen for their neutral status, declared that Wellington was a
suitable location because of its central location in New Zealand and good harbour.
Parliament officially met in Wellington for the first time on 26 July 1865. At that time, the
population of Wellington was just 4,900.[10] Wellington's status as capital is by
constitutional convention rather than statute.[11]
Wellington is the location of the highest court, the Supreme Court of New Zealand, and
the historic former High Court building has been enlarged and restored for its
use. Government House, the official residence of the Governor-General, is in Newtown,
opposite the Basin Reserve. Premier House, the official residence of the Prime Minister,
is in Thorndon on Tinakori Road.

LOCATION:
Is a country in Oceania is located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean
comprising two main islands: the North Island and the South Island, with
many other smaller islands, prominent among them the Stewart Island
and the Chatham Islands. The Kingdom of New Zealand also includes the
Cook Islands and Niue (self-governing states in free association) and
Tokelau.

New Zealand is notable for its geographic isolation, is located about 2000
km southeast of Australia in the Tasman Sea, and its closest neighbors to
the north are New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga. Because of this long isolation
in the country a fauna dominated by birds evolved, many of which became
extinct after the arrival of humans and introduced mammals without
control.4 Most of the New Zealand population is of European descent;
indigenous Mori are the largest minority numerosa.5 Asians and

Polynesians are also significant minorities, especially in urban areas.

Although it has three official languages most spoken, by far, is the ingls.6

Elizabeth II as Queen of New Zealand, is the country's head of state and is

represented by a governor general, 7 while executive power is exercised
by the Cabinet and the Prime Minister. Its cities are among the best
quality of life in the world. New Zealand is a developed country that is
positioned in high places within international ranks on many topics,
including the absence of corruption, education level and economic
freedom, but certainly between what stands out is in its development
index human, which positions seventh in the world in 2013, and indices of
democracy, which places it in the great majority of publications and
important studies as the freest country and with the greatest respect for
civil rights in the world.

LENGUAJE:
New Zealand
New Zealand has three official languages: English, Maori and sign
language.
English is the most spoken language. It is estimated that 96% of the
population uses it daily to work and communicate daily at home.
Maori became an official language in 1987. This aboriginal language has
experienced a resurgence in recent years, however, remains the language
of a local minority. For example, it is estimated that only 150,000 people
speak Maori as an everyday language. This represents 3.7% of the total
population. This figure speaks of a slight decline compared with 4.1% in
2006.
Sign language used in New Zealand became an official language in 2006
and was designed by and for deaf people, without linguistic relations with
any other written or spoken language, and is able to express any idea. It is
estimated that just over 20,000 people use for everyday communication.
This represents a decrease in the total number of users of language,
which for 2006 was estimated at 24,090 people.
Other languages present in New Zealand are:
Samoan, spoken by 2.3% of the population;

 Hindi, spoken by 1.4% of the population;

French, spoken by 1.2% of the population;
Chinese, Cantonese and Mandarin spoken by about 1% of the population
each.
According to the census of 2013, the number of people who speak Hindi
tripled since 2001, reaching 66,312 people; but by 2001, that figure stood
at 22,749 people. So Hindi replaced French as the fourth most spoken
language in the country.
The New Zealand English
As in any country in the world, the people of New Zealand have their own
intonation adjective or accent.
The English spoken in New Zealand is popularly called "newzild" and for
some is similar to English Australia; however, has some differences that
seem to be related to the origin of the speakers.
For example, in some cases, intonations reminiscent of those used by the
inhabitants of southern England. Can also be identified Scottish and Irish
influences. The Maori descent can also make a particular form of
pronunciation of certain words and sounds.
The New Zealand accent is distinguished by the presence of "cut" vowels.
Phonetically there is a clear distinction in pronunciation of the vowels "i"
and "e". Often this typical New Zealand pronunciation is popularly
represented as follows: The term "fish and chips" is pronounced in New
Zealand as "fush and chups"; "Yes" and "yiss"; and "sixty-six" as "suxtysux".
The Scottish influence seems to be more pronounced south of the South
Island. Specifically in the region of Dunedin, where people of Celtic origin,
makes a special emphasis on pronouncing the "r". This pronunciation is
also typical of the local Maori descent, who also tend to very strongly
pronounce the "t" and "k"
