O LE PI FAITAU (THE SAMOAN ALPHABET) Lyrics - London Missionary Society, Samoa. (Note from Rita Seumanutafa: The ‘h’ has been omitted from this rendition of the Samoan alphabet as it is not utilised in formal Samoan language today). Music - R. Seumanutafa (2016). Pacific Kids' Learning will include the letter H in all future Samoan Alphabet animations.
