Description

ABOUT THE BOOK: Kingdom of Tonga sits on the eastern edge of the IndoAustralian Plate, which is forced us as the pacific plate pushes under it at the Tonga Trench. This long oceanic valley running 2,000 km from Tonga to New Zealand is one of the lowest segments of the ocean floor. Located in the Oceania, Tonga is an archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean. Tongan Language is the official language of the kingdom. Tongan is written in a subset of the Latin script. In the old, missionary alphabet, the order of the letters was modified. The Vowels were put first and then followed by the consonants. This was still so as of the Privy Council decision of 1943 on the orthography of the Tongan language. However, C. M. Chuchward’s grammar and dictionary favoured the standard European alphabetical order, and since his time that one has been in use exclusively. Tongan Vocabulary generally have a much better knowledge of English than do Samoans.
