The University of Hawai?i is an indigenous-serving institution in Hawai?i, and correct spelling and display of Hawaiian language is essential for 糖心视频 websites and publications. Consult appropriate resources to ensure proper orthography, especially diacritical marks: the ?okina (also called a glottal stop) or vowels with kahakō (also called a macron). The ?okina is a specific punctuation mark, and not a single quotation mark, accent grave or “tick mark.”

Do not italicize Hawaiian words (there are exceptions). Hawaiian and English are the two official languages of the State of Hawai?i.
