Tonga language week

        The Kingdom of Tonga

                      Mālō e lelei

       This week is tonga language week. 

  Here are some cool things about tonga.

 Tonga is located in the south pacific ocean

with islands around it. If you go on google maps

you will see Cook Island, Niue, Fiji, and Samoa

and one thing they all have in common is the

beautiful beaches. 

Tonga also has a national Rugby League team

and the name of that team is Mate Ma’a Tonga

or for short (mmt).Tonga’s rugby league team

has a lot of good players and even some players

I like. 

One of their player's name is Jason Taumalolo;

he is also the captain of the rugby league team.

He is one of the best rugby players in NRL And

he has inspired a lot of kids in the south pacific

,here in New Zealand and Australia.

I was doing some research  and I found out that

another name for tonga is called  the friendly is

lands. People call tonga friendly islands because

many years ago tonga were given the name of

friendly islands Because of their welcoming of

tourists. 

When the tourists go to tonga they want to see

tonga people spear fishing in the water,they

want to do whale watching,and enjoy the

beautiful landscape of tonga.

Also their first ever king was called

George Tupou I and his last name still goes on

to this day because the king of tonga right now

is called tupou VI.

I hope you gain an understanding about the

kingdom of tonga māvae maʻu ha ʻaho lelei.
