5月9日新西兰总理办公室消息，本周（2022年5月9日至15日）是新西兰手语周（NZSL），这是新西兰官方语言的全国性庆祝活动。
新西兰残疾问题部长卡梅尔·塞普洛尼(Carmel Sepuloni)说:”今年的主题新西兰手语是必不可少的’认识到我们第三种官方语言的突出性和重要性，并突出了聋哑人的基本工人。
我为我们给予新西兰手语的地位感到自豪，无论是在新西兰还是在国际舞台上。我们被公认为世界领导者，因为我们致力于维护和促进手语的使用。
我们最近在这一领域的工作在英国得到了认可，因为他们的政府于2022年4月27日通过了英国手语（BSL）法案的最终宣读。
NZSL在2006年被公认为新西兰的官方语言。新西兰约有20，000人使用新西兰手语作为交流形式，其中约4，600人是聋人。
NZSL是一种官方语言，但它面临失传。我希望看到所有新西兰人都参与进来，以确保NZSL得到维护和推广，而不是失传。
NZSL的维护和推广对于新西兰聋人的社区参与，包容，获得服务，福祉，教育和聋人文化至关重要。这是关于聋哑的新西兰人，包括我们的聋人社区，像所有其他新西兰人一样在新西兰过上美好的生活。
去年，我国政府宣布，7月1日，我们将成立一个新的残疾人部。虽然官方名称尚未得到确认，但我很高兴这将是新西兰第一个以NZSL命名的部门。
本周我将参加领导者挑战赛，以表明我们都可以尝试签名参与，并与NZSL至关重要的聋人建立联系。
虽然本周是新西兰手语周，但每周我们都必须采取措施改善无障碍环境，提高认识，并为聋人社区建立包容性。我很高兴新西兰手语作为新西兰的官方语言继续发展并蓬勃发展。“卡梅尔·塞普洛尼说。
还有很多其他方法可以参与庆祝NZSL周。已经开发了一系列资源，以鼓励更多的人在家中，工作场所，学校和大学签名。
9 May，New Zealand Sign Language Week 2022 recognises ‘essential’ workers This week (9 – 15 May 2022) is New Zealand Sign Language Week (NZSL), a nationwide celebration of NZSL as an official language of New Zealand. This year’s theme ‘New Zealand Sign Language is essential’ recognises the prominence and importance of our third official language, and draws a spotlight on essential workers who are Deaf,” Minister for Disability Issues Carmel Sepuloni said. I’m proud of the status we have given to New Zealand Sign Language, both in Aotearoa New Zealand and on an international stage. We’re recognised as a world leader for our commitment to maintaining and furthering the use of our sign language,” Carmel Sepuloni said. Our work in this area was recently recognised in the United Kingdom as their government passed the final reading for the British Sign Language (BSL) Bill on 27 April 2022. NZSL was recognised as an official language of New Zealand in 2006. Approximately 20,000 people in New Zealand use New Zealand Sign Language as a form of communication and of this, approximately 4,600 are Deaf. NZSL is an official language, but it is endangered. I’d like to see all New Zealanders get involved, to ensure that NZSL is maintained and promoted, and not lost. The maintenance and promotion of NZSL is vital to Deaf New Zealander’s community participation, inclusion, access to services, wellbeing, education, and Deaf culture. It is about Deaf New Zealanders including our tangata turi community, having a good life in Aotearoa like all other New Zealanders. Last year our Government announced that on 1 July, we’ll be launching a new Ministry for Disabled People. While the official name has yet to be confirmed, I’m excited by the fact that this will be New Zealand’s first Ministry with an NZSL name. This week I’ll be participating in the Leaders’ Challenge to show that we can all give signing a go and connect with Deaf people for whom NZSL is essential. While this week is New Zealand Sign Language Week, every week we must take steps towards improving accessibility, raising awareness, and building inclusivity for the Deaf community. I’m pleased that New Zealand Sign Language continues to evolve and thrive as an official language of New Zealand.” Carmel Sepuloni said. There are lots of other ways to get involved in celebrating NZSL week around the motu. A range of resources have been developed to encourage more people to sign in their homes, workplaces, schools and universities.
