'''NOTE'''
*Vowels can be long or short. Long vowels are written with a macron (ā, ē, ī, ō, ū). If no macron is available, a diaresis or circumflex (ä/â) can be used instead, or the vowels are doubled. So Māori can also be written Mäori, Mâori or Maaori. Sometimes the macrons are omitted altogether and Māori is written Maori.
*H is pronounced [ç] in some regions
*R is usually pronounced [d̪] before i and u
*Wh is usually pronounced [ɸ] or [w]
The pronunciation shown above are based on the recordings at: [http://hedc.otago.ac.nz/whakahuatanga/ Recordings]<ref>[https://www.omniglot.com/writing/maori.htm]</ref>
