hawaii islandsCan you guess how many letters are in the Hawaiian alphabet? Thirteen.. Here are some interesting facts about the Hawaiian alphabet for you!

  1. There are no consonant clusters in the Hawaiian language.
  2. Hawaiian words must always end with a vowel.
  3. Hawaiian words must have at least one vowel.
  4. An okina ( ‘ ) is a glottal stop – it is also considered a consonant, so only appears between vowels.
  5. The kahako ( ¯ ) makes vowels longer, so it occurs only over vowels.

hawaii-resortThe Hawaiian alphabet consists of thirteen letters: the five vowels and eight consonants, the consanants being: h, k, l, m, n, p, w, the eighth is the okina ( ‘ ) – its sound is the glottal stop that occurs between “oh-oh”. The vowels have two sounds, stressed and unstressed, as follows:

a, as in water

e, as in wet

i, as in bit

o, as in obey

u, as in pull

a, as in ah

e, as in hey

hawaiian resorti, as in police

o, as in bow

u, as in open

Two vowel combinations usually merge as a diphthong, some examples being:

ou, as in soul

oi, as in loiter

ae, like “y” in my

ei, as in veil

ai, like “i” in light

golf in hawaiiau, like “ou” in out

ao, like “ow” in how

There is no “s” in the Hawaiian language; to Pluralize a word, you must put na before the word. Example:

pua – flower / na pua – flowers

maka – eye / na maka – eyes

‘ilo – dog / na ‘ilio – dogs

There are other ways to pluralize, but this is the easiest for this pronunciation lesson. So now that you are familiar with the Hawaiian alphabet, time to start planning your next big vacation to the most beautiful islands in the world!

Cozumel is a divers and snorklers paradise.

Cozumel also has wonderful beaches. On the eastern side of the island the beaches are gorgeous white sand. Between the north and south hotel zones on the island’s west coast you’ll find the vibrant city of San Miguel, population 90,000. This safe, extraordinarily friendly Mayan/Mexican community has somehow managed to retain its own customs and cultural identity despite the increasing influx of visitors.

cozumel mexico snorkelingSan Miguel, in fact remains one of the very few places left in the Mayan Riviera where visitors can truly experience and even become involved in traditional Yucatecan culture. It’s also a great place for shopping and sampling a wide variety of Mexican, Yucatecan and international cuisine.
