I'd venture the guess that this is akin to the "Whose Chinese is bigger?" question. One assumes (the Royal 'one', of course) that there was greater dialectical differentiation of Maori in NZ before the Western settlement of it - and it is this variety that is being lost - no longer is one village virtually unintelligible to the one in the next valley, and so on.

I dunno. Maybe I'm just babbling - but I'm sleepy and mildly hungover, so I'm indulging myself.
