Gagana Samoa - Learning the Samoan alphabet! In our native Samoan language, our core alphabet consists of just 14 letters! The consonants F, G, L, M, N, P, S, T and V; and the vowels A, E, I, O and U. The added letters K, H and R are also used, but usually for foreign borrowed words, and/or for informal language. Another thing to note is that vowels can be long, or short. We hope this helps you understand and practice Samoan for your next visit to American Samoa! #HappySamoanLanguageWeek Present
