Almost all the people in Hawaii speak English as well as a few words of Hawaiian. Most of the street names are Hawaiian such as Kalakaua Avenue. Some people who have Hawaiian blood have Hawaiian names as well. This page is basically a glossary of basic Hawaiian words for you people to learn. Even though most of the people in Hawaii speak English, some of them speak pidgin English. The way they speak may sound primitive to others (people from the mainland or other countries that speak standard English). I think pidgin English is a part of Hawaii's culture. Below the table of Hawaiian words is a table of pidgin English Words in green are super common words. Other words are used averagely.

   Extractions: Hawaiian is the ancestral language of the indigenous people of the Hawaiian Islands , the Hawaiians , a Polynesian people. Hawaiian, along with English , is an official language of the State of Hawai'i . It is notable for having a small phoneme inventory (see Hawaiian alphabet, below), like many of its Polynesian cousins. Especially notable is the fact that it lacks the phoneme /t/, one of only a few languages to lack such a phoneme. Hawaiian is a member of the Austronesian language family , related to Samoan Maori Fijian , and other languages spoken throughout Polynesia , and more distantly to some Southeast Asian and Indian Ocean languages. Hawaiian is an endangered language. On most of the islands, Hawaiian has been displaced by English and is no longer used as the daily language of communication. An exception is Ni'ihau which still uses Hawaiian in daily communications, because it is a privately owned island and visitation by outsiders is strictly controlled. For a variety of reasons starting around , the number of first-language speakers of Hawaiian diminished from 37,000 to 1,000; half of these remaining are now in their seventies or eighties (see Ethnologue report below for citations).

Glossary a e h ... w Diacritical marks explained The example above shows a " macron " above each vowel and a " glottal stop The above example is literally a "picture" of the correct markings. Using Photoshop and custom Hawaiian font software, that provides the keyboard stroke to produce a proper macron and glottal stop, the text and correct diacritical markings were created and then saved as a .gif picture. This workaround provides a way for browsers to display the correct markings without having to have the special Hawaiian fonts present. Preparing an entire page of Hawaiian copy in this way would be cumbersome and impractical for general Web publishing.

   Extractions: Abstract (In the language there is life, in the language there is death, Ancient Hawaiian Proverb). Though some believe that the Internet will strengthen the worldwide dominance of English , indigenous language activists around the world are working for a different electronic future, one based on linguistic rights and cultural diversity. One of the most inspiring projects designed to bring about such a future is the (Powerful Voice) bulletin board system, the first Internet communication systems in the world fully based on an indigenous language. This article describes the development and use of , but first provides some necessary background information on the history of the Hawaiian language and current revitalization efforts. At the same time, though, the Hawaiian people and their culture were being devastated by Western colonization. Diseases introduced by colonizers reduced the Hawaiian population from some 300,000 in 1778 to approximately 50,000 a century later (Wilson, in press; Reinecke, 1969). Traditional language and art forms, such as the hula, were repressed due to pressure from the missionaries, who viewed these cultural expressions as "foul" and "idolatrous" . Language Revitalizaton A group of Hawaiian language scholars and community leaders established the Hawaiian medium (Voice Nest) pre-schools in 1984 and lobbied for the removal of the ban on the use of Hawaiian as a medium of education.

    Broad overview on technology and hawaiian language revival.  
    http://www.readingonline.org/electronic/hawaii/
    
    Extractions: Abstract The Hawaiian language, on the verge of extinction as a spoken language, has been revived through a combination of teaching ancient Hawaiian culture and traditions and the extensive incorporation of modern technology. Through private Hawaiian language immersion preschools and Hawaiian Language Immersion programs in public elementary and secondary schools, many children in Hawaii are becoming fluent users of Hawaiian. These programs emphasize traditional songs, chants, and materials, but also rely heavily on modern technology to enhance the students' language development. Using a variety of computer programs and Hawaiian language computer networks, teachers and students are able to develop Hawaiian language materials, communicate with other Hawaiian writers and speakers through e-mail, and create archives of individual and group work. Through the blending of the old and the new, tremendous progress has been made toward the revival of this ancient language.

    Extractions: We were the first of a number of couples in Hawai'i who have revived Hawaiian as the first language of their home and children. Both of us are faculty members in the Hawaiian Studies Department at the University of Hawai'i at Hilo. Kauanoe Kamana is the president of the 'Aha Punana Leo and past director of the Hale Kuamo'o Hawaiian language center at the University of Hawai'i at Hilo. She is currently on leave from the University teaching in the first intermediate and high school Hawaiian medium classes in one hundred years. Bill is on the legislative committee of the State's Hawaiian Immersion Advisory Council. Punana Leo Hawaiian Medium Preschools In 1983, we were part of a small group of Hawaiian speaking educators who formed the 'Aha Punana Leo to reestablish Hawaiian medium education. At that time, the Hawaiian medium public school system of Hawai'i had been closed for nearly 90 years and the last generation in which Hawaiian was the common language of all Hawaiians was in their seventies. The focus of the 'Aha Punana Leo was to assist the few families trying to revive Hawaiian in the home and the tiny community that still used Hawaiian at all age levels by beginning family run preschools. Ours was the first family to re-establish Hawaiian as the sole language of the home and we were determined that our children would attend preschool and public school in Hawaiian.
