What is the Austronesian language family? Issue? What language is Austronesian?

Austronesian language family comes from the south China coast of Chinese mainland. These Austronesian-speaking South Chinese first went south on Taiwan Province Island, conquered the Philippines and Indonesia, and replaced the aborigines there.

Then Austronesian languages passed through the coastal areas of New Guinea, but did not go deep into the high mountains in the hinterland here, and then entered the Pacific Ocean east of Solomon Islands, appearing in Fiji, Samoa and Tonga, appearing in Polynesia, society islands and Marquesas in early AD, and then immigrated to Hawaii, Pitcairn Island and Easter Island, and arrived in Southwest New Zealand.

The whole territory is mountainous, and the mountainous area accounts for 50% of the national area. Whether it is lush rainforests, clear lakes, grassy slopes and white beaches, all of them show the freshness and beauty of New Zealand.

When we meet for the first time, people with the same status are called by their surnames, plus "Mr", "Mrs" and "Miss". After we met, we called each other by their first names.

New Zealanders have a strong sense of time, so appointments must be made in advance and on time. Guests can arrive a few minutes in advance to show their respect for the host. Conversation can talk about climate, sports (such as rugby and cricket, which New Zealanders particularly like), domestic and foreign politics, tourism and other topics, and avoid talking about personal affairs, religion, race and other issues.

When you are invited to a New Zealander's home, you can give the host a box of chocolates or a bottle of whisky and the hostess a bunch of flowers. Gifts don't have to be too many or too expensive.
