| | Maori language |
| | Worship was in Maori, it was the language of the home, political meetings were conducted in Maori, and some newspapers and some literature was published in Maori. | | | Many speculate that the petroglyphs once used by the Maori developed into a script similar to the Rongorongo of Easter Island, however there is only a small body of evidence for such speculation. | | | This was followed by the founding of the Kura Kaupapa, a primary school program in Maori. |

| | For example, the reconstructible protolanguage of the well-known Indo-European family is called Proto-Indo-European. | | | This is not known from written records, since it was spoken before the invention of writing, but sometimes a protolanguage can be identified with a historically known language. | | | A language isolated in its own branch within a family, such as Greek within Indo-European, is often also called an isolate, but such cases are usually clarified. |

| | The relationship of Tai languages to other language families (from Tai languages) -- Encyclopædia Britannica |
| | A language family that covers a broad geographical region and a vast historical period, the Semitic language group is part of an even larger language family known as Afro-Asiatic, or Hamito-Semitic. | | | Such modern languages as Hebrew, Arabic, and Ethiopic belong to the Semitic language group. | | | Because the word Thai has been designated as the official name of the language of Thailand, it would be confusing to use it for the various other languages of the family as well. |
