HAWAIIAN LANGUAGE
The Hawaiian language is a beautiful, flowing tongue, capturing the natural beauty of the islands in its tones and phrases. After being suppressed for many years, the language has in recent decades enjoyed a vital renewal, and in 1978 was made an official language in the state constitution. Maui now hosts two Hawaiian language immersion schools, where students can learn math, science, history, and even English using their mother tongue. The number of fluent speakers is rising dramatically, and it is not uncommon to hear Hawaiian spoken in public. Most street names and place names are Hawaiian, and there is an effort to restore original Hawaiian names to places whose names were changed. It is a good sign of respect for your hosts to be able to pronounce Hawaiian words correctly, and to understand some basic phrases. Fortunately, there is a wealth of Hawaiian language resources online, including tutorials and dictionaries. Ulukau: The Hawaiian Electronic Library

Hawaiian language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Hawaiian alphabet
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).

scroll to top Beginnings:
The ʻAha Pūnana Leo began in 1983 when a small group of friends made up of Hawaiian-speaking educators found themselves on the island of Kauaʻi discussing the dismal state of the Hawaiian language, then near the brink of extinction. Following a Māori model in New Zealand, they decided to open a preschool on Kauaʻi where the last community of native speaking children could be mixed with English speaking Hawaiian children to be educated exclusively through Hawaiian. This type of school was called a Pūnana Leo, "nest of voices" or language nest. scroll to top The Organization Today:
Today, the vision of the ʻAha Pūnana Leo remains clear and focused: E Ola Ka ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, "The Hawaiian Language Shall Live." We have made considerable progress since 1983. There are approximately 2000 children being educated in Hawaiian in schools run by the ʻAha Pūnana Leo or in schools established by the state in response to the matriculation of Pūnana Leo preschool students into the Hawaiʻi public school system. The ʻAha Pūnana Leo provides direct teaching services to a portion of these students and additional support to all of them. The governing board, administration and staff of the ʻAha Pūnana Leo consists primarily of individuals who have children or other family members in these schools.

How often do we hear someone say - or say ourselves - "I'd just love to learn French - or Greek, or Russian"? But upon reflection, don't we really mean that we'd love to know French already ? Although as language teachers, we are supposed to appreciate the learning process, and view it as normal and wonderful, we often actually see this process as an obstacle course on the way to the final goal of knowing the target language. Today, I would like to discuss some ideas about what we can gain of intrinsic professional value from the learning voyage itself, even without ever reaching a "final destination." What can we, as language teachers , learn about teaching language, from the experience of learning a language ourselves? In 1988, I taught for the fall semester in the Department of ESL at the University of Hawai`i-MŠnoa in Honolulu. I was a leave replacement for the late Charlene Sato, to whose memory and spirit this talk is dedicated. Most aspects of this new setting, from academic to shopping, were familiar. Nonetheless, there were the usual difficulties with transition and culture shock. These strains were greatly eased when I began taking classes in two traditional Hawaiian cultural activities: lei-making and hula. Through these activities, I made a network of friends and acquaintances quite outside my departmental circle.

by Sophia Schweitzer Each language holds a history and culture, giving identity and roots. Yet, worldwide, 4 languages die every two months. Of the 6000 languages known, only 3000 will be left by the end of the 21st century.
Vulnerable to misplaced judgment, foreign influences and replacement by Creole, the Hawaiian language, 'Ölelo Hawai'i, has long been threatened with the same fate of extinction. Thanks to powerful revitalization programs over the last 20 years it will now, perhaps, be one of the survivors.
'Ölelo Hawai'i belongs to the Polynesian languages. Captain Cook and his companions recorded the Hawaiian language for the first time in Kaua'i, in 1778. They immediately noticed the great similarity to Tahitian and Maori. In communicating with the Hawaiians they used Tahitian words and gestures.
These early voyagers, who thought they had found an innocent paradise, described Hawaiian as "primitive, childlike, lilting, effeminate", and "simple". Reduplication ('ele'ele, wikiwiki) and the abundance of vowels seemed like baby-talk. They had no idea how to approach such a different language.
