Hawaiian language From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search The Hawaiian language (Hawaiian: ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi ) is the language of native Hawaiians . "Aloha" and "Mahalo" are probably its most recognized words worldwide, though the word lanai has been absorbed into English (not to be confused with Lana'i , the name of a small Island in the chain). "Taboo" (Kapu in Hawaiian) is Tahitian from the same Proto-Polynesian root from which the Hawaiian language grew. Other Pacific islands whose languages come from this same root form what is called the "Polynesian Triangle" and include the Marquesas, Raratonga, Samoa, some islands of what is now Fiji and New Zealand Substantial "linguistic drift" has occurred among them (perhaps mostly between Hawai'i and the others; due to it being most geographically isolated north of the Equator ) over the last two thousand years or so. Nonetheless, native speakers of all these languages can still make themselves understood to one another (think of a cockney talking to someone from South Central LA or the Bronx). The language has only 12 letters (A, E, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, U, W); 13 if you count the 'okina (which is legitimate; it "drifted" from some "K" sounds in the early Polynesian tongue into a glottal stop; like the break in the middle of the word "Oh-oh". These days the 'okina is written as a backward apostrophe (small numeral 6 above and preceding a vowel).

It originated as the Marquesan or Tahitian of the era 1000 A.D., when the Polynesian speakers of that language made the first Polynesian discovery of Hawaii and colonized the archipelago, establishing permanent settlements. Upon the permanent separation of those Polynesian colonists from their foreign homelands, their language began to gradually change, thereby developing into one that is distinct from the centuries old Marquesan or Tahitian. Before being the Marquesan or Tahitian of 1000 A.D., the language was various stages of Proto Polynesian. Going back farther in time and space, the language is that of the Philippine Islands, and it is ultimately descended from an ancient Austronesian language spoken in Taiwan about 6000 years ago. The geographically most distant relative of Hawaiian is Malagasy, spoken on the big island (Madagascar) off the east coast of Africa, nearly at the opposite point on the globe from Hawaii. The old Marquesan or Tahitian developed into Hawaiian in isolation from the rest of the world, for approximately 700 to 800 years. In 1778 A.D., British explorer James Cook made the first European discovery of Hawaii, and that marked a new phase in the development and use of Hawaiian. During that period, up to 1820, Hawaiian began to take form as a written language, but largely restricted to isolated names and words, and word lists collected by explorers and travellers. Some adventurous native speakers of Hawaiian worked aboard American and/or European ships of that period, thereby expanding, albeit slightly, the geographical area in which Hawaiian could be spoken. However, no viable Hawaiian speech communities were ever established abroad.

Hawaiian first appeared in writing in the early 19th century in a version of the Latin alphabet developed by missionaries, who started to visit the Hawaiian islands from 1820 onwards. Literacy among the Hawaiian people was widespread during the 19th century when Hawai'i was an independent kingdom. Dozens of Hawaiian language newspapers were published, together with Hawaiian translations of religious works and novels and Hawaiian transcriptions of traditional stories. After Hawaii was annexed by the USA in 1899, the Hawaiian language was banned from schools and went into rapid decline. By the 1980s, there was only about 2,000 Hawaiian speakers, most of whom were elderly. In 1978 Hawaiian was made an official language of Hawaii, along with English, and since then there has been a revival of interest in the language. There are now several schools where most subjects are taught through the medium of Hawaiian and Hawaiian classes are popular at all levels of education.
