One of my big books bookshelves, including tomes of fairytales, folktales, art, fashion, boats, cartoons (Asterix), and children’s stories (the complete Thomas the Tank Engline).

Weird question, but is anybody in my reach on Mastodon a native-speaker of Oceanic languages?
(that's Hawaiian, Samoan, Fijian, related or nearby Polynesian/Micronesian languages, which I say to clarify the question for other people in the middle who might be forwarding it, not because anyone who speaks one will need the clarification)
This is not for anything big; I'm just trying to get some POV about how folks refer to the alphabet & diacritic marks.
