Malo e lelei, Valerie. Thank you for posting counting numbers 1 - 10 in Tongan. We will all be able to remember them now. I didn’t know there were only 16 letters of the alphabet, but that’s enough to make a beautiful language. Keep up your good blogging!
Great post Valerie! I had no idea there were only 16 letters in the alphabet! It's awesome that you have included the numbers from 1-10 in Tongan :) Maybe you could post about Tongan culture so we can learn more?
Thank you Valerie for all the Tongan language information. I think I might use the counting to 10 in my next Junior meet. One of the children in Piwakawaka sang us a beautiful Tongan song during the week, he had been learning it in lockdown. It is interesting looking at the Tongan alphabet and comparing it to the NZ one. Do you know what the differences are? Thanks for sharing this knowledge Valerie.
