Use of the macron in Māori and Pacific Island language references

In accordance with current standard policy, the macron has been used to indicate long vowels in both Māori and Pacific Island words. The exceptions to this policy are in titles of books or articles (or other quoted material) where the original did not use the macron; in these cases the macron is not used. We acknowledge the assistance of Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori/Māori Language Commission and Mīria Simpson, Māori Language Consultant at the Alexander Turnbull Library, in confirming correct use of the macron in Māori words.
