Nelson, New Zealand, is a predominantly English-speaking region where English is the main language of communication. However, as a multicultural society, Māori (the language of the indigenous people of New Zealand) can also be heard spoken by some locals, particularly the Māori community. Other languages spoken in Nelson include those brought by international immigrants, such as Chinese, Dutch, Hindi, Spanish, French, and others. Despite these linguistic differences, visitors to Nelson will have no trouble getting along with English.
