AlphabetThere are only 12 letters in the Hawaiian alphabet: five vowels – a,e,i,o,u and seven consonants – h,k,l,m,p,and w. The ‘okina is used between vowels to make a distant separation and is considered a consonant making 13 letters altogether.

Hawai’iA ‘okina is placed between double vowels to emphasize

the pronunciation of each vowel sound.
