The Hawaiian Alphabet

Did you know that Hawaiians did not have a written alphabet before western contact? They passed down their history from generation to generation through speech. When the missionaries arrived, they wanted to teach the Hawaiian people to read and write, so they had to develop an alphabet from the words they heard.

Click here to see what the Hawaiian alphabet looks like.
