Use of the macron in Mäori and Pacific Island language references
In accordance with current standard policy, the macron has been used to indicate
long vowels in both Mäori and Pacific Island words. The exceptions to
this policy are in titles of books or articles (or other quoted material) where
the original did not use the macron; in these cases the macron is not used. We
acknowledge the assistance of Te Taura Whiri i te Reo
Mäori/Mäori Language Commission and Mïria Simpson,
Mäori Language Consultant at the Alexander Turnbull Library, in
confirming correct use of the macron in Mäori words.
