*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. | *Vowels can be long or short.
