For the first time, two new languages have been added to the calendar, as we recognise the language of Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. These join Rotuma, Samoa, Kiribati, Cook Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Fiji, Niue and Tokelau.
The overarching theme of the language weeks for 2024 is sustainability, aligning with UNESCO’s long-term vision to protect indigenous languages, not just in the Pacific but worldwide. Sustainability can include the physical, but also language – which incorporates heritage and identity – with UNESCO saying at least 40 per cent of the world’s 7000 languages are in danger of being lost.
Pacific Language Week dates for 2024:
Rotuma: 12–18 May
Samoa: 26 May–1 June
Kiribati: 7–13 July
Cook Islands: 4–10 August
Tonga: 18–24 August
Tuvalu: 29 September–5 October
Fiji: 6–12 October
Niue: 13–19 October
Tokelau: 27 October–2 November
Papua New Guinea: 10–16 November
Solomon Islands: 24–30 November

A lack of investment remains a concern as Environment Canterbury backs the region’s transport plan.
The regional council voted to adopt the 2024-34 Canterbury Regional Land Transport Plan at a council meeting on Tuesday afternoon.
But councillors expressed concerns at a perceived lack of funding from central Government and a potential funding shortfall.
The Canterbury Regional Transport Committee, comprising the region’s 10 mayors, gave its approval to the plan at a meeting on April 18.
Councillor Deon Swiggs said the there had been under-investment in transport and infrastructure in the South Island for too long.
‘‘It is a relatively good plan, but we need to get on top of the funding because we are getting behind in Canterbury and in the entire South Island.’’
He was also concerned at the lack of a timeframe set out for the implementation of the proposed mass rapid transport for Greater Christchurch.
Environment Canterbury principal strategy advisor Clare Pattison said the regional transport plan set out priorities for transport in the region.
But the timings would ultimately be set by Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency and the regional council.
She said the council could refer questions back to the regional transport committee if there were concerns.
Councillor Grant Edge said if the council did not adopt the plan by the June deadline, it would put at risk funding for Canterbury’s roading projects.
Councillor Vicky Southworth said funding was issue which ‘‘continues to be raised’’.
‘‘Hopefully something changes, but we have to put our best foot forward and hope we get the support.’’
The plan proposed an investment of $10.8 billion over 10 years, which would double the region’s transport investment.
But it will require a $4.6b contribution from central Government.
Key projects include the proposed Woodend Bypass and a second Ashburton bridge.
The plan also includes public transport improvements for Greater Christchurch, which are dependent on Government support.
It will now be submitted to Waka Kotahi to be included in the National Land Transport Plan.
