    The 'wh' is pronounced as an 'f' or 'ph'.

    The 'e' on the end of a word is sounded as if the word ended in 'ay' as in 'hay'.

    The 'au' is pronounced as the 'ou' in 'hour'.

  2. The Hakka (Chinese: 客家; pinyin: kèjiā; literally "guest families") are Han Chinese people whose ancestors are said to have originated in the Henan and Shanxi provinces of northern China over 1,700 years ago. In a series of migrations, the Hakka settled in Guangdong and Fujian provinces in southern China, and then they went overseas to various Chinese enclaves throughout the world. The Hakka have had a significant influence on the course of Chinese and Overseas Chinese history: they particularly have been a source of revolutionary and political leaders.

  3. You can find it by looking it up on the wikipedia website under "Haka of the All Blacks".

  4. According to Maori ethos, Tama-nui-to-ra, the Sun God had two wives Hine-raumati, the Summer Maid, and Hine Takurua, the Winter maid. The child born to him and Hine-raumati was Tane-rore who is credited with the origin of the dance. Tane-rore is the trembling of the air as seen on the hot day of Summer, and represented by the quivering of the hands in the dance.

  6. The All Blacks, the international rugby union team of New Zealand, perform a haka (Māori war dance) immediately prior to international matches. Over the years they have most commonly performed the haka "Ka Mate". In the early decades of international rugby, they sometimes performed other haka[1], some of which were composed for specific tours. Since 2005 they have occasionally performed a new haka, "Kapa o Pango

    New Zealand played its first full international test match when it played Australia in Sydney in 1903. It has been claimed that the New Zealand team performed a haka which was evidently composed for the occasion, as it addressed the "Kangaroos".

  7. sorry i can't help you

  8. As in Hakka noodles? Yes! They are a type of noodle that are used in the preparation of Chinese cuisines mostly.

    But no seriously, since we are under the Rugby category, I imagine you might've meant the traditional Maori war dance that most New Zealand sports team perform before the start of any competitive event. It supposedly instills fear in their opponents and gives them an edge.
