0 I have been looking for the same pronounciation. I can't find it anywhere either! I am working on a report on Easter Island at the moment and need to know how to say a few of the native words. It's driving me crazy. Maybe we just need to go to Easter Island to find out...lol I'll have my people call your people. But seriously if anyone finds a reliable reference, it would be much appreciated

0 I'm 99% sure they would have transcribed it phonetically. Most languages have those vowels, so Moai would certainly be pronounced [ moaɪ ] .02br
02br
00Just pronounce the vowels as follows02br
00a /a/02br
00e /E/02br
00i /i/02br
00o /o/02br
00u /u/02br
02br
00ai would be /aɪ/ etc.02br
