Region, language, Dictionary and Spelling not available for my Country? New Zealand

[HiDeHo]

I Live In New Zealand and was looking to change my Language, country, region spelling etc. settings. and it is not listed. the closest is Australia. Any reasons why and How to find it? Would like to have proper spelling etc set here, thanks.

**Edit** Here in New Zealand we use allot of Maori words from the Native Language for the native people. There is even a region and language setting for Maori, but no New Zealand English... strikes me as a bit strange. will use Australian English.......... even Windows and Linux have New Zealand as a setting.

Every country and every language are not available, so as you found out, you would need to choose the closest region. Forgive my ignorance, but is written English in New Zealand very different from that in Australia?

Maybe I'm misinformed but I thought that New Zealand and Australia used the same regional spelling and settings?

I tend to set it to UK; that handles most of it.

They do but New Zealand uses lots of Maori Words. hey there is even a Maori option but not Nz English. which seems totally weird to me.
