Python 3.4 Hawaiin Words program help please.

Hawaiian words can be intimidating to attempt to pronounce. Words like humuhumunukunukuapua'a look like someone may have fallen asleep on the keyboard. The language is actually very simple and only contains 12 characters; 5 vowels and 7 consonants. We are going to write a program that allows the user to enter a hawaiian word and give the pronunciation of the word or words as output.

For instance, humuhumunukunukuapua’a phonetic guide would be Hoo-moo-hoo-moo-noo-koonoo-koo-ah-poo-ah'ah

The 12 valid characters in the Hawaiian language are a, e, i, o, u, p, k, h, l, m, n, and w.

Consonants are fairly easy. The only exception with consonants are w’s, which can be pronounced as a w or a v sound.

Consonants

p, k, h, l, m, n Pronounced like the english versions.

w - start of word Either pronounced as a w or a v sound. We shall pronounce it as a w sound.

w - after the letter ‘a’ Either pronounced as a w or a v sound. We shall pronounce it as a w sound.

w - after ‘i’ or ‘e’ Pronounced as a v sound

w - after ‘u’ or o Pronounced as a w sound.

Vowels

a sounds like ah. eg. Austin - ah-stin

e sounds like eh. eg. egg - eh-gg

i sounds like ee eg. bee

o sounds like oh eg. obey - oh bay

u sounds like oo eg. mood - m oo d

Vowel Groups

ai sounds like eye. eg. Ice

ae sounds like eye. Same as ai

ao sounds like ow. eg. How

au sounds like ow. eg. House.

ei sounds like ay. eg. Hay

eu sounds like eh-oo

iu sounds like ew

oi sounds like oy

ou sounds like ow.

ui sounds like ooey. Like gooey

You’ll notice that all groupings of vowels aren’t represented. For instance there is no combination for oa in a word. In cases like this each vowel is pronounced as individual vowel sounds. From the vowel sounds o is pronounced as oh and a as ah. So oa would sound like oh-ah. The hawaiian word Hoaloha means friend and would be pronounced as Hoh-ah-loh-hah

There are words with more than 2 vowels in a row. These are approached in the same way. If aia is in a word, the ai would be said like eye. Then you’d pronounced the a as ah. aia thus sounds like eye-ah. Kaiapuni is the Hawaiian word for environment and is pronounced Keyeah-poo-nee.

If there are more than 2 vowels in a row and the first 2 do not have a single sound, then you would say the first vowel normally, and then check to see if vowel 2 and 3 have a combined sound. The ua in Huaai does not have a sound. So you’d just pronounced the u as oo, and then evaluate the aa. Since there is no sound for aa, you’d just pronounced the first a as ah, and then evaluate ai. The ai is said like eye. So the word would be said as Hoo-ah-eye.

For simplicity we will ignore accents in words. ā or â is simply an a

Requirements:

● The program should validate that the word given by the user only has valid Hawaiian characters. Spaces and the apostrophe (‘) are valid as well.

● If a word is not valid, warn the user about offending characters and prompt for a hawaiian word again.

● Spaces are breaks for words and should be kept intact

● The apostrophe is a hard stop, and should be kept in the word. A word with a’i is pronounced ah’ee. Without the apostrophe it would be eye.

● Ask the user if they want to do another word. Valid responses are Y, YES, N or NO. If they want to play more, then they can enter another hawaiian word. If no, then the program ends.

Development notes

● You won’t be able to just use the .replace() method. You’ll need to evaluate the the characters entered one at a time according to the rules.

● Using .upper() or .lower() will change all the characters to the given case. Making comparisons easier.

● Use .capitalize() will capitalize the first character in each word. Makes for a nice output.

Example

Enter a hawaiian word to pronounce ==> invalid

V is not a valid hawaiian character

Enter a hawaiian word to pronounce ==> aloha

ALOHA is pronounced Ah-loh-hah

Do you want to enter another word? Y/YES/N/NO ==> humuhumunukunukuapua'a

Enter Y, YES, N or NO

Do you want to enter another word? Y/YES/N/NO ==> y

Enter a hawaiian word to pronounce ==> Kakahiaka

KAKAHIAKA is pronounced Kah-kah-hee-ah-kah

Do you want to enter another word? Y/YES/N/NO ==> y

Enter a hawaiian word to pronounce ==> Mahalo

MAHALO is pronounced Mah-hah-loh

Do you want to enter another word? Y/YES/N/NO ==> y

Enter a hawaiian word to pronounce ==> E komo mai

E KOMO MAI is pronounced Eh koh-moh meye

Do you want to enter another word? Y/YES/N/NO ==> y

Enter a hawaiian word to pronounce ==> humuhumunukunukuapua'a

HUMUHUMUNUKUNUKUAPUA'A is pronounced Hoo-moo-hoo-moo-noo-koo-noo-koo-ah-poo-ah'ah

Do you want to enter another word? Y/YES/N/NO ==> n
