Hawaii I'm sure there is a tremendously important philological reason why the non-standard spelling of Hawaii is being used in this article and a few others. I suggest, instead, that the way the name of the state entered American vocabulary be used and not something that people in Ha'w'a'i'ii want to quarrel about. Student7 01:07, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
The 'okina "'",glottal stop or voiceless glottal plosive is a type of consonantal sound, used in Hawaiian Language as well as many spoken languages. See Wikipedia "glottal stop."
There are few English words that contain a glottal stop. The best examples are the interjections "uh-oh", "oh-oh", and "uh-uh".
It's a phonological reason more than a philological (even though I have a love of the language), which describes the way sounds function within a given language or across languages to encode meaning, especially in Hawai'i.
Example: moa (mo-ah) is a chicken and mo'a (mo ah) means cooked
The only difference is the 'okina consonant.

Hawai'i Department of Education → Hawaii Department of Education – to proper orthography. Dept does not use okina, but even if they did, it would be an okina. — kwami ( talk) 17:56, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
