From Radio Australia -- The number of New Zealand-born Samoans who can speak Samoan has dropped, according to figures from the latest census. At the previous census in 2001, 48 per cent could speak the language, but the 2006 figures show that has dropped to 44 per cent. There's a shortage of Samoan language pre-schools, with many parents unable to get their children into them.
