The great thing about the Pacific Islander languages is their simplicity.
They developed first as spoken language, so when a written alphabet was
attached, it basically follows the every letter is spoken rule. Even better,
they are not tonal languages.
So there are only a few special cases,
edge for getting U2 embedded in public safety apps.

I have one that is suited to Pacific Islander languages, such as Maori, which

Hey,
Does anyone have any info/insights about good phonetic algorithms?
We are all very familiar perhaps with the Soundex, Metaphone or
Double-Metaphone, but these were all designed for Latin/English language names.
The basic logic was patented in 1918.

2. Consider Googling Dragon.
