  • At FestPAC this year, I was fortunate enough to talk story with a few Cook Islanders regarding the similarities and differences between languages and culture. To my surprise, I found out that Hawaiian is extremely similar to some of their dialects! So much so that we were able to converse in our own respective languages and be able to understand each other (most of the time). Mahalo to Tarani Napa, Kora Kora and Dr. Teina Rongo for their time and aloha.

    It's really cool to hear Hawaiian olelo and Mangarongaro reo can converse and understand each other that goes to show that moana nui a kiva is all Family

    You're an invaluable asset to your community and the olelo. This content is monumentally important to keeping the olelo alive.
    We are in the process of talking about leaving diaspora and coming back home. We need more Hawaiians back home.

    Meitaki ma’ata! ʻSei’ is ʻHei’ in Tahitian or ʻlei’ in Hawaiian (s in western Polynesian languages usually convert to h in Hawaiian or Tahitian, glottal in Rarotongan Maori). ʻUpoko’ is ’upo’o’ in Tahitian or ’po’o’ in Hawaiian. ʻSei ’atu’ is ʻlei haku’.

    I loved the tuatua with aunty. That was so awesome as l could understand you through aunty speaking our reo and then filling in the gaps of your korerorero. So fascinating!

    I'm loving all of these Polynesian comparisons and contrasts. It really shows that Hawaii is more related to the Pacific islands than the American continent.

      For sure. The Pacific is our home and where our family resides.

    The northern cooks has some tongan/ samoan influence, and southern cooks , more tahiti influence and rest of french polynesia, etc.. , 13 of 15 islands have their own dialects. I grew up listening to my dad speak atiuan to his siblings, aitutaki/ rarotongan to his inlaws , tongan to my mum, and samoan to our neighbours and his friends 😅.

    Its so crack up samoans and tongans were so quick to migrate to Hawaii yet there is no real cultural connection its only through marriage and modern migration, Hawaii Maoli, Tahiti Maohi, cook islands Maori, Rapa Nui and Marquesas and New Zealand maori are all intertwined all connected through sea, language and the most beautiful of women in the Pacific islands

      @@Kayne-xy8pq that's cos they went the other way Samoan and Tongan connect their historical roots in Melanesian and Micronesia eg. Solomon Islands too Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Kapingamarangi and its Sister Island in Micronesia.

    The mangarongaro/hararanga/Tongareva
    Dialect adopted the letter 'L' but they can speak with 'R'.
    The southern dialect removed the letters 'H' and 'F'. But their dialect was exactly like the tuamotu dialect. Europeans corrupted the Southern dialect when they write it.

      Other way around. They spell with R but say L.
