The English spoken in New Zealand is known for its distinct accent, which is often referred to as a 'Kiwi' accent. This accent is characterized by a unique pronunciation of certain vowels, including the 'e' and 'i' sounds, which are often pronounced with a raised tongue and a slight 'eee' sound.
Additionally, the 'o' and 'a' sounds are sometimes pronounced with a rounded sound, similar to how they are pronounced in Australian English.
The Kiwi accent also has a distinctive intonation pattern, with a rising inflection at the end of many sentences.
English is the primary language spoken in New Zealand (5.1 million people).
