WALT: Understand Niue language week
I learned that the 2020 Niuean Language Week theme is ‘Faliki e tau momoui he tau atuhau ke he Vagahau Niue ’ which in English translates to, “Lay the foundations - give rise to Vagahau Niue for generations". This years theme reminds us of the need to not only respect and treasure our languages and cultures but to work daily to ensure the foundation remains strong for generations to come. Niue Language week is in its ninth year, the 2020 Niue Language Week is focused on laying the foundations to give rise to Vagahau Niue for future generations I also learned that tongan and niuean from the tonic subgroup of the Polynesian languages. Niuean also has a number of influences from Samoan.
Fakaalofa lahi atu kia koe Daz,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading what Niuean language week means and I like how you included a photo of the Niue flag. It would have been great if you had shared some Niuean language you learned. Keep up the good effort Daz, Ms Peters.
