Pronunciation of Oamaru in Southern New Zealand English. Speaker is a male New Zealander in his 20s. Created and uploaded by FirstPrinciples. Released into public domain.

Shibboleth: The local southern dialect of Maori ignores the first A in the name (AUH-muh-ROO). Sadly, northern Maori speakers tend to regard this (correct) variant as incorrect, preferring to stress the A (o-UH-muh-ROO). It is thus possible to tell whether the speaker is from Otago or further north.
