No you didn't.  According to whois, people have been squatting on the
first two since 2004 and 2000.

The new thing is the opening up and internationalisation of top level
domains, so countries can apply for TLDs in their local languages.  That
means there will one day be a .māori (or .maori, which is arguably more
sensible if you want people to type in your domain name).
