New Zealand English

Explain please:
The English language as it is spoken in New Zealand, a Commonwealth member nation in the Southern Pacific. Since Captain James Cook and his English-speaking crew made their first trip to New Zealand in 1769, English has been spoken and utilized there for more than 200 years. He wrote down some MAORI words in his journal, such as pah (a walled hamlet) and pounamu (greenstone or nephrite), which ultimately entered the common lexicon of all New Zealanders. However, a more practical beginning point is 1840, when the Maori, who have lived on the islands since the ninth century, granted the British Crown kawanatanga (governorship, which the British understood as sovereignty) as part of the Treaty of Waitangi..

Vowels (the sounds the letters A, E, I, O, and U create) in New Zealand English can differ significantly from those in American English or British Standard English. For instance, the term "kit" sounds more like the word "cut" in New Zealand English.
When Kiwis speak, the 'r' sound is sometimes incredibly quiet and perhaps even impossible to hear! The word "farm," for instance, sounds more like "faahm." Anyone who has studied American English, where the 'r' sound is fairly evident, may find this puzzling.
The rising tone that Kiwis frequently use at the end of a phrase makes it appear as though they are asking an inquiry.
Sometimes a "l" sounding after a vowel sounds like a vowel.
