Wiktionary:About Samoan

This page deals with the specific issues of Samoan entries on Wiktionary.

Orthography
Samoan has five vowels and thirteen consonants:

Long vowels are signified by a macron: ā, ē, ī, ō, ū.

Some texts may use long vowels without a macron. These spellings are not represented in Wiktionary, since they are predictable.

It is important to note that the glottal stop should be given using a MODIFIER LETTER TURNED COMMA (U+02BB), not a regular apostrophe.
