Vowels: A, E, I, O, U
Consonants: F, G, L, M, N, P, S, T, V, ʻ (glottal stop)
That means the letters not included in the Samoan alphabet are:
B, C, D, H, J, K, Q, R, W, X, Y, Z. Why, typically the sounds these letters represent aren't native to Samoan phonology. The sounds for “r,” “z,” and “ch” just don’t exist in traditional Samoan speech.
