Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

It is thought desirable to prefix to this little work some explanation of the mode now in use of writing and pronouncing the words in the native languages of the Pacific I slands. The vowels and diphthongs are sounded as follows: a as a in father, art. eas ey in they, or simple long a. I as i in machine, the English long e. oas oin no. ti as 00 in too. ai as I, the long English i in pine. au as ow in how. Where two or more vowels occur together, they are not, with the above exceptions, to be pronounced together, but as so many distinct syllables; as 0-a-hu, Ha-wai-i, Pu-a-a-i-ki. Consonants are sounded nearly as they are in English. They are, however, never doubled, and rarely end a word or syllable.
