Pronounciation ?

Considering there are two fairly common was to pronounce the word can someone update this bit, perhaps making which is official. Not that I can seem to find much about it online - SimonLyall 13:23, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

From all my time living in Taupo and staying on Marae, I have only been instructed on the single pronounciation (as it appears currently). - Seriocomic 23:18, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well until about 5 years ago every time I heard it (including TV) it was pronounced like "cow-po" and now it is "tow-paw" by some (but not all). perhaps something like the Shibboleth bit at the bottom of the Oamaru. - SimonLyall 00:38, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I fully understand where you are coming from, but are we to educate as to the correct (via phonetic rather than character interpretation) pronounciation or are we to explain that due to lack of education there exist(s)ed another coloquial. I am not a language or Te Reo Māori authority. Perhaps flagging the pronounciation as in need of expert correction would be an idea. I will in the mean-time remove the 'toe-paw' part and leave the IPC. - Seriocomic 03:25, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
