Ha‘apai → Haʻapai – The apostrophe-like character used in Tongan is U+02BB ʻ MODIFIER LETTER TURNED COMMA, not U+2018 ‘ LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK. The proposed title matches titles like ʻEua, Vavaʻu, ʻIʻiwi, and ʻOkina. Gorobay (talk) 14:13, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

• Question do Tongan and other Austronesian/Pacific languages have an equivalent Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Hawaii-related articles to Hawaiian? Because this Okina has come up before and it needs a centralised MOS. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:33, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Agree to move. The one who started this article was probably not aware of these fine distinctions. Nothing in Tonga has been formalised, Tongans themselves do not care writing words like ‘o’oku (in which MS Word so zealously helps them), instead of ʻoʻoku. But the Tongan wikipedia stresses the use of 0x02BB. --Tauʻolunga (talk) 05:29, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
