Talking of culture, I had an interesting read of Wikipedia on the Hawaiian language >>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_language
There are only 13 letters: 5 vowels [long and short] and 8 consonants, one of which is a glottal stop [called ‘okina and written ‘], as in Hawai’i and indeed Ka’alapani. Furthermore, every consonant has to be followed by a vowel, and every word has to end in a vowel. No wonder it sounds both strange and musical to our ears. I bought the essential Tourist T-shirt, bearing the image of the State Fish … the Reef Triggerfish, or Humuhumunukunukuapua’a. It’s easier to say if the word [not the fish] is dissected … thus: humu-humu-nuku-nuku-apua’a. There you go, you learn something new every day
