New Zealand is at least teaching maori languages
I always thought it was a bit harder in Australia, given that the language changes so much across such small distances.
Same with Te Reo in NZ, it's kind of standardized now but when I was a kid living in the BoP I learnt a lot of Maori but when we moved to the south island the dialect was quite different so I lost a lot through atrophy.
