There are not many loanwords from the Maori language in Russian. Nevertheless, among them there are both exotisms ("Maori," "haka") and words that have become commonplace ("kiwi," "taboo"), whose deep connection with Polynesia and New Zealand is not always obvious to speakers. In addition, a number of borrowings from te reo Maori are found in some Russianspeaking subcultures ("mana," "poi").
