APA Reference Formatting: Te Reo Māori

Te Reo Māori

This section will talk you through referencing sources in Te Reo Māori. As it is an official language of Aotearoa, there is no need to translate Te Reo Māori for referencing purposes.

Author

Some group authors have names in Te Reo Māori and English. Cite them in the order they appear on the item you are referencing.

You can then use acronyms to shorten them if appropriate, see our guide on the use of acronyms for more information.

Reference List

In-Text

... (Ministry of Health Manatū Hauora, 2011).

Title

Some resources have titles in both Te Reo Māori and English. Enter them in the order they appear on the resource (for a book, use the title page format rather than the cover). If there is a hyphen between the two versions of the title, use a colon after the first version.
