Mike Murdoch does your family tree go in a straight line?

Mike Murdoch - Are you part Hawaiian?

doesnt Kaméhaméha get that name from the fact he was kind scary to his ''king'' making him heir to the postion of the war gods keeper and isolating him from the court?

You are correct on the pronunciation. All Hawaiian names have semantic meaning. Kamehameha is usually translated as "the lonely one" I don't know if he was named the lonely one because he was the guardian of the war-god Kū or not.

Although I do wish he had said “overthrow” instead of “annexation.”

What exactly is the point that he is not from Hawaii? Speak Hawaiian or raised in Hawaii?

MT Aloha. My point was directed at those who criticized him for his pronunciation of some of the Hawaiian names. My comments referred to a correlation that those born/raised in Hawaii and/or those who ‘ōlelo Hawai’i are likely better able to pronounce Hawaiian words properly; my comments weren’t directed at UsefulCharts or at those who assist in the producing of his videos. A few comments were made by others that one mispronounced syllable in neary any Hawaiian word changes the meaning entirely, so what I wrote was meant to be informational. Hiki iā ‘oe ke maopopo?

HassanLechkar yea I would love to see that. I’m Samoan, I wish we could have a chart as well but our way of governing made it a bit difficult to have one ruler such as the Hawaiians/Tongans did. It would be way too convoluted with the many different branches

I’m Native Hawaiian and I’m part of the Royalty family because I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and his kids are my great uncles as well and my Hawaiian name is an Ali’i name and that’s (Kahoalii)

Tag Along to Our Past - the “h” should indeed be pronounced. I’m afraid there’s a lot of people who mispronounce it these days, including many here in Hawaiʻi. The emphasis here is a bit on the wrong syllables - it should be more like Ka-ME-ha-ME-ha rather than KA-me-HA-me-HA, but the “h” should still be pronounced. Hawaiian spelling is highly consistent with the phonetics, unlike English. The general rule is to break down each syllable by one letter or a pair of letters (glottal stop included as a letter) and that each syllable ends with a vowel. Vowel sounds generally are like Spanish vowels. And that’s pretty much all you need to know for correct pronunciation.

@@kpaukeaho6180 thank you!

@@kpaukeaho6180 Well, Hawaiian spelling is based on phonemics rather than phonetics. That's why [ p / b ] is spelled with "P", [ k / t ] is spelled with "K", [ l / r ] is spelled with "L", and [ v / w ] with "W", etc. There's some phonetic variation with the vowels too. Many English words were first spelled over 1,500 years ago. Over time, pronunciation shifted, but old spellings remained. The old spellings reflect the old pronunciations. ("silent E" was not silent, etc.)

@@gregcarter8656 yes, it’s true that these phonetic pairs have a degree of interchangeability. Some are dialectic - there was a general [v] to [w] spectrum with some exceptions from east to west across the islands, and [r] was particularly prevalent/persistent among speakers from East Maui. And you’re right that there is some slight dialectical vowel phonetic variation - particularly between [a] and [e] when before [i]. I was simply saying that as a general rule if one pronounces the phonemes phonetically in Hawaiian one doesn’t arrive at a *wrong* pronounciation, which cannot be said for English. I am a speaker of ʻōlelo.

@@kpaukeaho6180 Obviously, there are no audio recordings of spoken Hawaiian from 200 years ago, so nobody can say with certainty, now, exactly how Hawaiian was pronounced during the 1820s. Folks can make educated guesses, but that's ultimately speculation. Likewise for spoken English during 100 A.D. to the 1820s. That said, your characterization of Hawaiian pronunciation looks like it's based on a partial understanding of Elbert, Wilson, and Schutz. In spoken Hawaiian of the past 50 years or so, [ w ] and [ v ] have been essentially in free variation, with no rigidly applicable geographical dialects. Niihauans are known for using [ t ] more often than other Hawaiian speakers, but any speaker of Hawaiian can pronounce / K / as either [ k ] or [ t ] virtually anytime they like, without being misunderstood. Raising of / A / to [ e ] before / I /, and to [ o ] before / U / is a phonological process which is not particularly associated with any geographical dialect. Comparing Hawaiian spelling to English spelling is comparing apples to oranges. HAW spellings are only about 200 years old, while some ENG spellings are nearly 2,000 years old. When ENG was first spelled using the Roman alphabet, the Romans spelled ENG as they heard it at the time, using the (Roman) letters as best as they could to represent the ENG sounds. Take the word GOOD. It had a long vowel / O /. That's why it was spelled with 2 "O" letters. It could be alternatively written GŌD. By contrast, take the word GOD. It had a short vowel / O /, so it was spelled with 1 "O" letter. In Old English, GOD and GŌD were a minimal pair. The only difference in sound was the length of the vowel. Some folks think HAW is "special" because it has long vowels. But many other languages have that too, so it's nothing special. Even Old English had some long vowels. However, languages change over time. ENG went through a pronunciation change known as the Great Vowel Shift. The word GOD shifted to sound like [ gad ]. The word GOOD shifted to sound like [ gUd ] (with "U" representing the vowel sound in current ENG pronunciation of HOOD, COOK, COULD, WOOD, WOULD, SHOULD). Although the pronunciations changed, the spellings did NOT change. So, GOD and GOOD started off as being phonemic spellings. But after 1,500 to 2,000 years worth of time for shifts in pronunciation, the current sound of these words does not match up perfectly to their ancient spellings, because the vowel sounds have shifted. The ancient consonant sounds remain in these words, but not the vowel sound. If HAW words had been written down 2,000 years ago, then they would not look the same as they do now, because HAW, like ENG (and virtually all natural human languages), has also undergone shifts in pronunciation over the centuries of time. Ever heard of Proto Polynesian? That's one of the ancestor languages (earlier forms) of HAW. Ever seen "PPN" forms in the Pukui-Elbert Hawaiian Dictionary? Those are the earlier forms (phonemic spellings) of HAW words. Take the HAW word KŌ. For "sugar cane" the PPN form is TORO. For "long" the PPN form is TOHO. For "fulfill" the PPN form is TOO. If these 3 words were written down way back during PPN times, their spellings would have been TORO, TOHO, and TOO. And now, as HAW words, they are all pronounced KŌ. People would say --- Hey WTF is going on with this language? Why is a word pronounced [ kō ] spelled TORO?

the whole native pronunciation screams AFRICA.

I would say 1.75x

That feature is not available for Hawaiian.

I meant for other language

@@RaymondHng haha!👍🏼

Hawaiian has some words with consecutive identical vowels (aa, ee, ii, oo, uu). Thus, glottal stop does not always occur separating consecutive identical vowels. In fact, most long vowels in Hawaiian are essentially consecutive identical vowels. One could call them "double vowels" or "geminate vowels" (twin vowels). You can see some examples in the Pukui-Elbert Hawaiian Dictionary where both spellings are shown, such as uluulu and ulūlu.

@@gregcarter8656 because of the confusion between the two and because Hawaiian was printed without any grammatical marks for a long time, in modern Hawaiian when a word requires a stress on a vowel it there is always kahako used, never the double vowel as in the words that you gave as examples.

@@despaahana The Hawaiian word HANA has 2 syllables: HA and NA. The 1st syllable is stressed, and the 2nd syllable is not stressed. The 1st syllable does not have a "kahakō", but it is stressed. So, a kahakō is NOT always used when a vowel is stressed. Same thing with the word ULU. My examples are from the Hawaiian Dictionary by Pukui and Elbert, page 370, left column, at the top, and again at the bottom. Look it up. Youʻll see. ULUULU is the reduplication of ULU. Same thing happens with OLO and OLOOLO (page 286).

@@gregcarter8656 the word Hana doesn't have a double vowel so my original point is still valid.

@@despaahana ʻAʻole. He hewa kāu i kākau ai e pili ana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke kahakō. Look at the words "hana" (work), and "Hāna" (a place on Maui). Both words have only one stress, and yet their pronunciations are DIFFERENT from each other. Also, in your original post, you said that stress is on "me" in "Kamehameha". That's pololei, but there is NO KAHAKŌ on "me". In addition, you wrongly said that "the vowels make the same sound every time". Itʻs well documented that Hawaiian "ʻa" is often OPTIONALLY raised to "o" when the "a" is right before a "u". For example, look at "Ke-au-hou" in the book Place Names of Hawaii. The authors noted that itʻs usually pronounced "Ke-ou-hou" because of "au" being pronounced "ou". In fact, many words in Hawaiian exhibit variant pronunciations with A or O. Another example is "kolohe" and "kalohe", meaning "rascal". You will find both forms in the Hawaiian Dictionary by Pukui and Elbert. There are many other examples. Hawaiian also has some variation of the vowels I and U, as seen in the word forms "imu" and "umu", meaning "earth oven". What do you even mean by your "original point"? Stresses? Kahakōs? ʻOkinas between identical vowels? What you wrote was wrong about all of those.

And also the wrong pronunciation...🤦
