This is a small corpus of 156 parallel sentences from Chapter 5 of Lyndsay Head's Making Maori Sentences. For each sentence below, the first line gives the Māori on the left, with an English rendition on the right (this is sometimes not an exact translation). The second line gives each word in the sentence, with a gloss (English lemma + Māori part-of-speech) in brackets.
The corpus can also be downloaded as a 24-page pdf.
