Thanks to @keoladonaghy at @UHMaui, there is now a Hawaiian language keyboard extension for Chromebook users to easily type the kahakō and the ‘okina. Details at HawaiiTech.com #hawaiianlanguage #olelohawaii #hawaiian #chromeos #chromebooks #okina #kahako (at UH Maui College) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFLa3u-jDtx/?igshid=1p7u79s3vjzvo

My dumbass tech story

At my job I frequently need to type Hawaiian words. (I am not fluent in Hawaiian unfortunately but there are some specific terms and some basics of the Hawaiian language that I know). There are some essential diacritical marks in the Hawaiian language that I need to get right such as the ‘okina and kahako (ō,ā, ī, ū)

Months ago I downloaded the Hawaiian keyboard setting on my laptop, tried to test a kahako and it didn't work so I assumed there was some download or driver error, and moved on with my work

Today I looked at it again trying to troubleshoot the issue.

I read, "to insert a kahako press the RIGHT Alt key and the letter"

I hold Alt key, press letter... Nothing

I diagnose and trying to find a driver error for like a half hour and then it hits me...

Despite deliberately reading RIGHT, I was still pressing the left (normal) alt key. When I do press the RIGHT ALT key, it.. works

I still do not know left from right, I need to go back to kindergarten

auli’i cravalho’s name

for those of you having difficulty pronouncing her name, the apostrophe in her first name is not actually an apostrophe! its a bit of hawaiian punctuation called an ʻokina. because hawaiian tends to be very vowel-heavy and can have multiple consecutive vowel sounds with no consonants dividing them, the ‘okina serves an indicator of a pause between vowel sounds (a glottal stop if we’re being technical).

so auli’i would be pronounced like OW-LEE-EE rather than OW-LEE. cravalho is likely an anglicization of the portuguese surname, carvalho, which makes sense because hawaii has a pretty large portuguese population. (for example, i have a friend who’s last name, loui, is a messed up attempt at anglicizing the chinese name, liu).

usually the ‘okina is removed from hawaiian words outside of hawaii to avoid confusing people who are unfamiliar with the language’s conventions. for example, hawaii would actually be hawai’i, ohana would be ‘ohana, and luau would be lu’au (there’s actually supposed to be a straight bar above the first ‘u’ called a kahako, which lengthens and emphasizes the vowel, but im too lazy to try to format that lol).

and that concludes this linguistic primer on hawaiian punctuation, have a great day y’all.
