The Māori word "kaitiakitanga" has been named the world's most beautiful word by language-learning platform Babbel.

It was selected from a longlist of more than 223 words across 75 languages following an international review of sound, meaning and cultural significance.

Kaitiakitanga refers to the responsibility to protect and care for the natural world for present and future generations within a Māori world view.
