  • In the Māori language, it represents the /f/ or /ɸ/ phoneme, but some North Shore tribes will pronounce it as /h/ or /hw/. When Europeans arrived in New Zealand, it was the North Shore accent that they heard first. They used "Wh" to spell the sound, however later it was found that different iwi pronounce this sound in different ways.
