Letters of the Hawaiian language

The Hawaiian language consists of only 12 letters. Seven consonants - h, k, l, m, n, p and w and five vowels - a, e, i, o and u

The "w" when followed by an "i" or "e" is pronounced like a "v". The vowels are a little different in that each one is pronounced individually and sound like:
a sounds like "ah" as in hurrah
e sounds like "ay" as in day
i sounds like "ee" as in bee
o sounds like "o" as in role
u sounds like "oo" as in soon
