Or maybe Hawaiian. Not very many Hawaiians speak it any more. It isn't difficult because the vowels are similar to Spanish and it only uses about half of the alphabet. It has some neat little guteral stops as between the last two I's in Hawai'i. Generally, each vowel is a seperate syllable. There are a few exceptions to that rule such as the au that is pronounced as ow. And if you ever go to Hawaii, they will be impressed by your ability to pronounce place names. Howard
