I wasn't offended! Just thought I'd mention my thoughts on it.

While the Māori alphabet has less letters, it's pretty common in any language to just say words in their original language when it makes sense. For example, while most languages will have a term for New Zealand, when someone speaks e.g. French, they will probably just say "Auckland" when talking about Auckland.

I hope I haven't come across like I'm lecturing. I'm by no means an expert, my comments are intended as discussion points not as the final word on the matter.
