I’ll be honest, I’m not even entirely sure how to say that one, so if anyone would care to enlighten me via the comments below, please feel free!

Actually, if Tongan is anything like Hawaiian, the pronunciation is pretty straightforward. They don’t employ a lot of linguistic trickery, it’s just call it as you see it. The only thing to watch for are the accent marks (I don’t know what they’re officially called), as in “Fua’amotu”. It’s your basic glottal stop, a little more exaggerated than the pause between “co” and “operation” in cooperation.
But hey, you asked. 😉
So it sounds in that case like my first guess of “foo-ah ah-mo-too” is probably right.
Ta!
Sounds about right to me. Then again, I’m not Tongan! 😉
Couldn’t have explained it better, Bill. Tongans are Polynesians just like Hawaiians so pronunciation are similar. And you got it right too, Ian.
