How To Pronounce Otago - Pronunciation Academy
Learn how to pronounce Otago
This is the *English* pronunciation of the word Otago.
According to Wikipedia, this is one of the possible definitions of the word Otago:
Otago (/ɵˈtɑːɡoʊ/; New Zealand [əˈtɐːɡɐʉ̯] ( )) is a region of New Zealand in the south of the South Island administered by the Otago Regional Council. It has an area of approximately 32,000 square kilometres (12,000 sq mi), making it the country's third largest local government region. Its population was 211,700 in the June 2014 estimate.
The name Otago is an old southern Maori word whose North Island dialect equivalent is Otakou, introduced to the south by Europeans in the 1840s. The exact meaning of the term is disputed, with common translations being isolated village and place of red earth, the latter referring to the reddish-ochre clay which is common in the area around Dunedin. Otago is also the old name of the European settlement on the Otago Harbour, established by the Weller Brothers in 1831, which lies close to the modern harbourside community of Otakou. The place later became the focus of the Otago Association, an offshoot of the Free Church of Scotland, notable for its high-minded adoption of the principle that ordinary people, not the landowner, should choose the ministers.
Major centres include Dunedin (the principal city), Oamaru (made famous by Janet Frame), Balclutha, Alexandra, and the major tourist centres Queenstown and Wanaka. Kaitangata in South Otago is a prominent source of coal. The Waitaki and Clutha rivers provide much of the country's hydroelectric power. Some parts of the area originally covered by Otago Province are now administered as part of Southland Region.
New Zealand's first university, the University of Otago, was founded in 1869 as the provincial university in Dunedin.
The Central Otago wine region produces award winning wines made from varieties such as the Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, Merlot, and Riesling grapes. It has an increasing reputation as New Zealand’s leading Pinot noir region.
