+ ## Language Policy
22
+
23
+ Nga-Whare-O-Te-Wheke intentionally incorporates Te Reo Maori in repository names, system architecture, structural terminology, and governance vocabulary.
24
+
25
+ This is not ornamental.
26
+
27
+ Te Reo Maori is:
28
+
29
+ - The indigenous language of New Zealand
30
+ - Recognized as a taonga of iwi and Maori
31
+ - Designated an official language under Te Ture mo te Reo Maori Act 2016
32
+
33
+ Language defines logic.
34
+ Terminology defines system boundaries.
35
+ Naming defines authority over structure.
36
+
37
+ The use of Te Reo Maori within this organization reflects:
38
+
39
+ - Alignment with its recognized legal status
40
+ - Cultural custodianship principles
41
+ - Commitment to linguistic revitalisation in digital domains
42
+ - Architectural independence in vocabulary and schema design
43
+
44
+ English may be used for interoperability where required.
45
+ Core structural identifiers, however, may be expressed in Te Reo Maori as a deliberate design choice.
