Boyd The Beast Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Would be nice if Māori was added as a language for New Zealand much like Welsh and Irish for Wales and Ireland. Māori is an official New Zealand language and as such would be fitting for this to be reflected in game. That's all :) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
janrzm Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I'm an New Zealander, I not sure how many people actually play the game here. I've always suspected its not a big number. Then, I would think only a tiny fraction of those would be Te Reo speakers. It would appear there are approximately 800,000 Welsh speakers, maybe 1.2m Irish speakers worldwide and 125,000 Te Reo speakers. Possibly more if you include those with a basic understanding of the language. Culturally, more Irish and Welsh are likely to play FM. We are on a big Te Reo push here which is a real positive for both Native Maori and Kiwi's of European decent. Whilst I'd always be supportive of any minority language being introduced into the game I suspect there would need to be demand. This comes back to the number of Maori playing Football Manager, I'm just not convinced its a big number. Still, it would be welcome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not asking for it to be a game language but rather it be a language in the database. Other examples from the game besides Welsh and Irish would be Quechua and Aymara which are indigenous languages in South American from the Peru, Chile and Bolivian region.
