I posted this in another thread:
Polynesian names are pronounced with no silent vowels or consonants, i.e. all letters are pronounced. Kind of like Spanish with "e" being pronounced as a long "a", "i" being pronounced as a long "e", "a" usually being a soft "a". So:
Lay -ah- lah- ee - mah- tah -Fay-oh.
As long as you pronounce it out, it becomes easy
I realize now that I'm not sure about the end of his name, if it's fay-oh or fah-oh.
