Country Names in Maori
The ultimate goal of this page is to have a complete list of all the country names in Maori. Each entry is listed alphabetically, from Maori to English, but if you'd prefer to read the English first version of this page, then there's a link for that below.
While the list isn't currently complete, it does contain a wide variety of country names for you to learn from. Below the main list of Maori country names, there's also a second shorter list with some translated continent names as well.
If you are interested in learning more country names in Maori, then feel free to bookmark this page and come back at a later date because we try our best to update the pages with new information as we are able.
