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 Hawaii . 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 a critically endangered language. Since the number of first language speakers of Hawaiian has fallen from 37,000 to 1,000, and half of these are in their seventies or eighties (see Ethnologue report below for citations). Interest in the language among the peoples of the Hawaiian Islands has increased in recent decades. The local NPR station broadcasts a 5-minute daily news summary in Hawaiian several times each day, and features a short segment titled "Hawaiian word of the day".

Makalapua Ka'awa and Emily Hawkins This paper describes Hawaiian language courses developed at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa that incorporate computer technology in the teaching of Hawaiian language. Hawaiian is now frequently heard in gatherings of the Hawaiian community: at birthday parties, concerts, and sporting events to name a few places. It is becoming possible to write checks in Hawaiian, buy goods in a large store, and order food at a restaurant with a Hawaiian speaking person. Revitalization is evident to observers both within and outside the Hawaiian community. The role of the University of Hawai'i The University of Hawai'i is committed to extending Hawaiian language education, especially the full development of Hawaiian immersion in the educational system. The Hawai'i Department of Education expects the University to be the primary agency to guide and assist all educational programs. In that effort the University trains the teachers, conducts evaluations of the programs, prepares materials in various subjects and numerous reading textbooks, conducts classes for inservice teachers, and coordinates many activities with the schools. We are also providing language training to many students who will never become teachers but will become parents, friends, and relatives to children who can now grow up speaking Hawaiian. Our commitments to teaching Hawaiian include:

books conference articles columns ... home Chapter 21, Teaching Indigenous Languages Return to Table of Contents Four Successful Indigenous Language Programs
Dawn B. Stiles This paper compares Cree, Hualapai, Maori, and Hawaiian indigenous language programs and describes common components and problems of implementation. Characteristics shared by the four programs are discussed in regard to their implications for other language groups interested in implementing their own programs. The author concludes that successful programs need to link language and culture, need written teaching materials, and need community support and parental involvement and that successful programs can fight gang activity, alcohol and drug abuse, and a high dropout rates in indigenous communities. This paper examines four indigenous language programs to compare common components, problems, and outcomes. The programs are Cree Way in Quebec, Hualapai in Arizona, Te Kohanga Reo in New Zealand, and Punana Leo in Hawai'i. The programs were chosen based on four criteria. First, the indigenous language can be categorized as in Stage 6 using Fishman's (1991) graded intergenerational disruption scale for threatened languages or in Stage 3 using Schmidt's (1990) scalethe language is no longer transmitted to the younger generation (in the home or in the community). Only some older people still speak the native tongue as their primary language, and everyday communication uses a replacement language (English in these four communities). The range of speech styles is limited and semi-speakers exist in the middle generations. A semi-speaker is an individual who understands but does not speak the language in its standard form (Schmidt, 1990). According to Dixon

The Maui News
Letter to the Editor
The use of the Hawaiian language is a traditional and customary right affirmed and protected by the state of Hawaii Constitution in Article XII, Section 7. Hawaiian and non-Hawaiian inmates in our state prison system are taught the Hawaiian language but are not allowed to speak it outside the classroom. If the Department of Public Safety feels this is a security problem by ruling that "no inmate shall converse in a foreign language," then I submit that Hawaiian is not a foreign language in the state of Hawaii and that if the security concerns are valid, the staff should learn to speak it.

By Rod Thompson
rthompson@starbulletin.com
HILO >> To earn his degree at the University of Hawaii-Hilo, Hiapo Perreira studied the legend of the Kauai hero Kawelo, who broke with the status quo to better the lives of his people. Perreira, 27, raised on Oahu in a family originating on Kauai, is following Kawelo's example. When Perreira graduates May 18, he will become the first person ever to receive a master's degree in Hawaiian language and literature. His will be the first master's degree in any subject granted by UH-Hilo, and he will be the first person in the nation to receive an advanced university degree in any indigenous language in the United States. "I have dedicated my life to the preservation and revitalization of the Hawaiian language and culture," he said. "My interests stem from the early high school days, when I would seek out kupuna to strengthen my knowledge of Hawaiian language and values," he said. He grew up in a family in which no one spoke Hawaiian.

Hawaiian language
makes gains but
still in danger
It is one of thousands of
languages experts say could
die by the end of the century
By B.J. Reyes
breyes@starbulletin.com
It was 1983 when a small group of Hawaiian-speaking educators embarked on an effort to save their native language. Since then the group known as Aha Punana Leo has seen the language make a significant comeback. Today, some 7,000 to 10,000 Hawaiians currently speak their native tongue. That is up from fewer than 1,000 in 1983, said Luahiwa Namahoe, a spokeswoman for Aha Punana Leo. But the group's work is not over, Namahoe said, particularly in light of a report that says half to 90 percent of the world's 6,800 languages could be extinct by the end of the century. "I do know that the state of Hawaii is the only one of the 50 that holds the status of two official languages," Namahoe said. "Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there with sadder histories than us, sadder realities than us." Languages need more than 100,000 speakers to pass from generation to generation, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO.

Volume #1 by Arleone Dibben-Young. InfoMaui © T he H awaiian L anguage Brief history of the written Hawaiian language Prior to the American missionary endeavor, which began in 1820, the Hawaiian language was spoken only. When the first company sent by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions arrived in Honolulu from Boston it quickly set to task the creation of a Hawaiian alphabet. In 1823 the first book in the Hawaiian language, a Bible, was printed. From this simple publication the spoken and printed Hawaiian language has grown to what it is today, including in it the latest high-technology terminology. The Hawaiian Alphabet Note: HTML format does not support the diacritical marks utilized in the Hawaiian language. Within this web site letters with a macron are underlined, and the glottal (normally appearing as an upside down and backwards comma) is substituted with an apostrophe. The Hawaiian language contains only 12 letters and is the shortest alphabet in the world. The consonants are h k l m n p , and w . The vowels are the same as those used in the English language - a e i o , and u . In addition, each vowel may also be used with a diacritical mark called a

Root A name (inoa) was a possession, an influence for good or evil and perhaps a part of a societies history. Ones inoa was a precious personal possession and also a force in its own right. Although a person possessed his or her name, he or she was also possessed by the name. Once spoken, the inoa assumed a mystical existence and the power to help or harm the bearer. And, so went the belief, the more a name was spoken, the more powerful it came, and the more powerful the influence - good or evil. more info Hawaiian Dictionary: Hawaiian-English and English-Hawaiian by Mary Kawena Pukui; Samuel H.

The Sociocultural Context of Hawaiian Language Revival and Learning: Project 1.6 Executive Summary Principal Investigator: Lois A. Yamauchi, University of Hawaii Introduction This study is the first of its kind to document how this unique program began and has developed. There were two major research questions that guided the project: 1. What is involved in the development and implementation of a kindergarten to grade 12 indigenous language immersion program? That is, what historical and political events led to the institution and development of the program? How are its efforts sustained? How is the Hawaiian language immersion program similar and different from other immersion and indigenous bilingual programs? 2. What are the perspectives of students and their families, teachers, and administrators regarding the program goals, outcomes, and activities?

The Sociocultural Context of Hawaiian Language Revival and Learning Integrated Summary Project Description Kaiapuni is administered by the Hawai‘i State Department of Education (DOE). For the 1997-1998 school year, over 1,300 students and 85 teachers participated in the program at 15 sites on five of the eight major Hawaiian Islands. Although most of the sites also house a "regular" English language program, there are two sites designated exclusively for the immersion program. Kaiapuni is a major effort of the Hawaiian community to revive the Hawaiian language. Prior to the program’s implementation in 1987, some estimated that there were only 30 Hawaiian speakers under 18 years of age (Dunford, 1991). According to language experts, the viability of a language can be gauged by the number and age of its speakers (Krauss, 1996; Reedy, 1982). According to these numbers, the Hawaiian language in the early 1980s was significantly "at risk" for language extinction. In 1986, the formal restrictions on the Hawaiian language were lifted by a state constitutional convention, that established Hawaiian and English as the two official languages of the State (Hawai‘i State Constitution, Article XV-4; HRS 1-13). This lifting of restrictions coincided with what has been called a "Hawaiian renaissance," or renewal in pride and interest in the Hawaiian culture and language. Policy to lift the ban of Hawaiian from classrooms followed. In 1987, Papahana Kaiapuni was established by the DOE as an attempt to revive the Hawaiian language.
