Getting a name right is a mark of respect. Lingo Pacific helps you say Pacific names and words correctly, clearly, and without guesswork. Choose one of nine Pacific languages, enter a name or word, and Lingo Pacific shows you how to say it: broken into syllables, with a simple "say it like" guide written the way it sounds. Watch each word read along, slowly, then at a natural pace so you can practise the flow before you say it aloud. Built for teachers meeting a new class, for whānau and learners, and for anyone who wants to honour a name by saying it well. What you can do: Enter any name or word and see it split into clear syllables Read a plain-English "say it like" guide for each part Choose the language, so the pronunciation follows that language's own rules Build and save class lists to revisit and practise Languages supported: Samoan, Tongan, Niuean, Māori, Cook Islands Māori, Tokelauan, Tuvaluan, Hawaiian, and Fijian. Lingo Pacific follows each language's own pronunciation rules rather than guessing. So what you see reflects how the word is actually said. It won't invent meanings or translations; its one job is to help you say the word with confidence and care. Made in Aotearoa, grounded in Pacific languages and the value of the vā — the respect we hold in the space between us.
