RE: How War Was Declared Between Tainui And Arawa
The people of Whanganui do 'wh' their wh's. They don't ffff their wh. The trick is to pronounce the wh as a w but with more aspiration. (Source: it's my birth city)

There was a great discussion about the spelling of Wanganui a few years ago, and I was talking with an elder, born and bred in the area, who decried the WH spelling, as you say W with aspiration.
for history's sake, I felt it was worth mention, in 50 years time the W + will have been changed to FFF and another part of history will be forgoton
