One just got translated:
For a good time send a message to Lrynitiaera. She is hot.

Kidding, as they couldn’t read or write.

True—
Māori language had no written form before European contact; instead, important information was passed down through oral traditions, memorized rhymes, formulaic storytelling and other methods like carving and weaving. A written version using the Latin alphabet was developed around 1820 with the help of missionaries.

Many believe it is a true language.Reason for this, on the boards where the most text is found—some symbols are marked out and a new symbol place in its place. Indication a spelling error. But, until its translated we will not know for sure.
