New Zealand English (NZE) is the
English spoken in
New Zealand.New Zealand English - often colloquially referred to as Newzild - is close to
Australian English in pronunciation, but has several subtle differences often overlooked by people from outside these countries. Some of these differences show New Zealand English to have more affinity with the
English of southern England than Australian English does. Several of the differences also show the influence of
Māori speech. The most striking difference from Australian and other forms of English (although shared partly with South African English) is the flattened i of New Zealand English. The New Zealand accent also has some
Scottish influences, particularly in the southern regions of the South Island - a result of the large number of early Scottish settlers who arrived in the 19th century.
