Hello everyone, My Meet-up for Worldwide Review Hour Mother Language was not a great turn out, Knowone had shown, and it was difficult to perform
anything that matter, during the time I was at the Meetup there were lots of young youths and I was worried about my tripod bag and phone being taken by surprise as these
are expensive key items to all my Meetups. But Let me Say this doesn't stop me from Hosting another Meetup, #LocalGuides in Perth are not as active as I am
I am one Man making a difference in a big City such as Perth I have Hosted many meetups in last few years. I hope Perth #localGuides will find inspiration to join me
But in the meantime, I will continue on as I do and what I do because I love doing it.
But id like to share some stuff from my own MAORI background something from Wiki

Māori (/ˈmaʊri/; Māori pronunciation: [ˈmaːɔɾi] 
listen), also known as te reo ("the language"), is an Eastern Polynesian language spoken by the Māori people, the indigenous population of New Zealand. Since 1987, it has been one of New Zealand's official languages. It is closely related to Cook Islands Māori, Tuamotuan, and Tahitian. The number of speakers of the language has been in sharp decline since the end of World War II, despite a language revitalization effort.[4]
A national census undertaken in 2013 reported that about 149,000 people, or 3.7 percent of the New Zealand population, could hold a conversation in Māori about everyday things.[5][6] As of 2015, 55 percent of Māori adults reported some knowledge of the language; but of these speakers, only 64 percent use Māori at home and only around 50,000 people can speak the language "very well" or "well".[7]
There was originally no native writing system for Māori. Missionaries brought the Latin alphabet with them around 1814, and linguist Samuel Lee worked with chief Hongi Hika to systematize the written language in 1820. The resultant phonetic spellings were remarkably successful, and written Māori has changed little since. Māori distinguishes between long and short vowels; the long vowels are usually written with a macron called "tohutō".
Thanks, everyone sees you all in my next [Recap]

@BishowvijayaP here is something from Wiki about the flower
The song is often recognized as the most influential song of the language movement, reminding numerous Bangladeshis about the conflicts of 1952. Every 21 February sees people from all parts of the Bangladesh heading to the Shaheed Minar in the probhat feri, a barefoot march to the monument, paying homage to those killed in the language movement demonstrations by singing this song. It is regarded by the listeners of BBC Bengali Service as the third best song in Bengali.[citation needed]
