Not sure when the collective decided that the letter h in Tapuha was silent. But it’s not.


Congratulations to @IngoaProject alumni @SullyLeagueTALK who is covering the @NSWRL Grand Final today. Pronunciation the best of any caller, on any Rugby League broadcast in Australia this year.


If any media are covering the NRL Pacific Tests coming up and would like to brush up on their pronunciation, you are encouraged to get in touch with us, plenty of time to improve your confidence and competence leading into these special games.


A reminder, It’s Siosiua, the Tongan version of Joshua. The two word thing is a typo from many moons ago that’s stuck around for far too long. It would be like writing Da Nny

BREAKING: Sio Siua Taukeiaho has been seen at Belmore ... believed he is rehabilitating his injured foot with club. No contract with the club at this point. @9NewsSyd @NRLonNine



But are we ready to pronounce his name?

Boxer Teremoana Teremoana is already our favourite Olympian. 😂



Sorry to confirm with commentators that Zahara and Temara do not rhyme. Please stop trying to make it happen.

Our 2024 #NRLW squad have provided all fans and media with the correct pronunciation of their names in the lead up to their season which kicks off next weekend! #WeAreRaiders



Not sure where the ‘z’ sound is coming from in Isaako, but can confirm, there is no letter z in the Samoan alphabet.


A course highlight has to be when we are working on Fijian names.. we learn about the letter ‘c’ being pronounced the same as the th in father… and the correct pronunciation of the name Civoniceva clicks.


If you were going to break Ofahengaue into syllables. It would be Ofa-he-nga-ue . There is no hard ‘g’ sound. The ng is pronounced as it is in the English word singer.


Watch this video of the Cook Islands Māori vowels. When pronouncing Iro. You need to pronounce the “i” as the English ee as in bee. Then roll the r. Then finish with the ‘o’ sound which is more similar to the English word or. m.youtube.com/watch?v=HQB_QY…


Listen to little mate in the video and then pronounce Sivo. m.youtube.com/watch?v=-0QCOn…


Tuilagi not Tualagi . In Samoan (and Māori, Tongan, Fijian, Cook Islands Māori), the “i” is pronounced like the English ee as in bee


This is well done. It’s filmed in a way that’s given players the confidence to take their time and pronounce their name clearly. Take special note of Hopoate. Often the names you’ve been hearing for generations are the hardest to correct, but this is how it is pronounced

Our 2024 NRL squad have provided all fans and media with the correct pronunciation of their names as well as their junior clubs for the 2024 season. #WeAreRaiders



Karawhiua!

Māori Women's #NRLAllStars squad Iwi 🟢⚪️
