Samoans and tongans hate each others only?

We are all God's children, and there is no room for hate in this world if we learn to live and get along with each other. God bless. Alofa atu and ofa atu.

Why is English the official language in Tonga?
The official languages of Tonga are Tongan, a Polynesian language, and English.
Tonga has maintained its sovereignty and independence continuously since it was first visited by Europeans (Captain Cook). In May 1900, however, it became a protected state under a Treaty of Friendship with Great Britain. A British Consul, and no higher official, was established in Tonga, but the closer relationship with Britain lead to establishment of English as well as Tongan as an official language.
How do you say Happy Birthday in Tonga?
You might say "Ma'u ha 'aho fiefie" which literally translates to "have an eager day" but "Ma'u ha 'aho fiefia" doesn't quite answer the original question either because that only means "have a nice day".
I don't remember if there is a standard birthday greeting that is commonplace. If I were to wish "happy birthday" to someone, I would probably just say, "Ma'u ha 'aho fa'ele'i fiefia" Which roughly translates to "obtain a happy birthday (the day of birth)" Even then, I'm not 100% if that's completely correct.

The family of the diseased rubs the ash on their faces over the course of a week unitl no ashes remain
