How Many Letters In The Hawaiian Alphabet?

Answer 1

The Hawaiian language was an oral tradition. The Hawaiian alphabet (piapa), was written by 19th century missionaries. The alphabet contains 12 letters: 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and 7 consonants (h, k, l, m, n, p, w). To simplify pronunciation, sound consonants as in English and break up words so they are easy to say e.g., Waianapanapa sounds like Wai-a-napa-napa.

Answer 2

Thirteen (13) letters:

KA PĪ‘ĀPĀ Hawai‘i (The Hawaiian Alphabet)
The Hawaiian spelling used today is basically the same as that established by American missionaries in 1826, who were influenced by English missionaries in the South Pacific. Hawaiian spelling is therefore very similar to the spelling used for Sāmoan, Tahitian, Māori, and Tongan.

There are five vowel sounds: A E I O U
and eight consonant letters: H K L M N P W ‘ (‘okina)
