HAWAIIAN LANGUAGE

We recognize the significance of diacritical markings in written Hawaiian as pronunciation guides, but have opted not to use them on the Pillars of Peace site since they display inconsistently across various computer platforms/browsers.

Consult these sources for correct Hawaiian spelling: Hawaiian Dictionary, Revised and Enlarged Edition, by Mary Kawena Pukui and Samuel H. Elbert (UH Press) and Place Names of Hawaii, Revised and Expanded Edition, by Mary Kawena Pukui, Samuel H. Elbert and Esther T. Mookini (UH Press).
