Climate Geography Population Ethnicity ... Northwestern Islands Hawaiian Language Olelo Hawaii The Hawaiian language or �Olelo Hawaii� is one of the oldest living languages in the world. Since the introduction of the Westerner into Hawaii in 1778, the number of people who speak Hawaiian fluently has dropped dramatically. Today, only about 1% of the people who live in Hawaii speak its native tongue. The Hawaiian language has had a tumultuous history. There has been a resurgence of the language over the past thirty or so years. Many people are learning the language again. Today, it is being taught in Hawaiian language immersion schools, and one can even get a Masters Degree in the Hawaiian language from the University of Hawaii, Hilo. History of the Hawaiian Language Before the arrival of Captain Cook, Hawaiian was strictly an oral language. Cook and his men recorded the Hawaiian language for the first time in 1778. They immediately realized that the language was similar to those that they encountered with the Maori and Tahitians. When the missionaries arrived in Hawaii, they needed to convert the oral Hawaiian language to a written language. They taught the Hawaiian people to read this written Hawaiian so that they could convey the message of the Bible.

This is called an "okina", the glottal stop; a special consonant represented by a symbol that can change the meaning and pronunciation of a word, and creates an abrupt break in the word. V owels may follow each other but consonants are always followed by a vowel, creating syllables with only two letters. Words never end in a consonant and because there is no "S" in the Hawaiian language, nouns are not pluralized.

Please cite as... 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-M�noa 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.

Use this version How Do You Say Computer in Hawaiian? In 1983, only 3,000 Hawaiians spoke their native language. Now, a new movement is using a BBS and networked classrooms to teach children their lost legacy. By Constance Hale It is 1823 in Honolulu, and the Reverend Hiram Bingham is sitting down to his writing table. Not one to let tropical humidity dampen his sense of propriety, Bingham is wearing a black frock coat and high-necked white blouse. His countenance: austerity in the extreme. Bingham is leader of a group of New England Calvinist missionaries who have come to the Polynesian chain with one express purpose: to stamp out paganism. To this end, Bingham is bracing for a formidable task, one that will take him and his seven accomplices 16 years to achieve: translating the Bible into Hawaiian. Bingham's Bible project will be no cakewalk: Hawaiian - a poetic Polynesian tongue with few parallels to English - has never been consigned to letters. Only one printing press even exists West of the Rockies - an aging Ramage iron-and-mahogany model Bingham hauled around Cape Horn. But no matter: Bingham is determined to hoist the pre-literate, ancient Hawaiian culture into a new medium and a new age. The year? 1994. The mission? To undo much of what Hiram Bingham set in motion a century and a half earlier. The means? A Mac IIfx with 8 megs of RAM and a 175-Mbyte hard drive. This is the central nervous system of Leoki- (the powerful voice), a Hawaiian-language bulletin board system that is one of the first BBSes set up to teach a Native American language. In addition to e-mail, it features a newspaper, chat lines, a tailor-made Hawaiian-English dictionary, user feedback, and a voting booth.

Hawaiian Alphabet (See also "Hawaiian Culture" on Big Island Kauai Lanai Maui ... Molokai , or Oahu The Hawaiian language was an oral tradition. The Hawaiian alphabet (piapa), was written by 19th century missionaries. The alphabet contains 12 letters: 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and 7 consonants (h, k, l, m, n, p, w). To simplify pronunciation, sound consonants as in English and break up words so they are easy to say e.g., Waianapanapa sounds like Wai-a-napa-napa. Pronounce vowels as follows: a - a in above; e - e in bet; i - ee in see; o - o in sole; u - oo in moon. pronounce stressed vowels marked by a macron (-) like unstressed vowels except for a - a in far and e - ay Mah-noa pronounce vowels marked by a glottal stop (`) quickly e.g., o`o sounds like oh-oh! in English. The word for glottal in Hawaiian is 'okina. stress rising dipthongs (ae, ai, ao, au, oi, ou, eu, ei) on the first letter and end with a short e, i, o or u e.g., oi sounds like oy in boy, ending with a short "i".

You may hear the "W" pronounced like a "V", this happens when the W is the second to the last letter of the word, but there are exceptions. Hawaii is not one of them. Vowels may follow each other but consonants are always followed by a vowel, creating syllables with only two letters. Words never end in a consonant and because there is no "S" in the Hawaiian language, nouns are not pluralized.

E ven though I have been a student of the Hawaiian language for many years, I am still constantly amazed by the beauty as well as the simplicity, and at the same time, complexity of the language. Though there are only 12 letters (a, e, i, o, u, h, k, l, m, n, p, w) and the okina (looks sort of like an apostrophe), there are a multitude of ways to express a single thought. Like I said, this can be simple or complex. Then there is kauna , the hidden meaning inside Hawaiian language, wherein it seems one is speaking about something obvious when one is actually talking about something completely different. It would be impossible to give you an in-depth Hawaiian language lesson, but it's good to know a few words and how to pronounce them when you visit our island. You'll hear them everywhere. If you know Spanish it will help with vowel pronunciation. Remember that all letters are pronounced. The okina is similar to the glottal stop in the cockney pronunciation of "bottle" or the word "uh-oh". Words are never pluralized by adding "s" and they never end in a consonant. The letter "W" is sometimes pronounced like the letter "V", sometimes "W", and sometimes a combination of the two sounds. The pronunciations I've shown below are as close as I can get because there are subtleties too difficult to explain. But if you pronounce them like I have written them you'll be close enough. By the way, this is a legal language here and can be used in a court of law.

Explore Where to Stay Learn Fun Info Galleries Contribute An Introduction to the Hawaiian Language The Hawaiian language is one of the most ancient languages that is still in use in modern times. It is closely related to Tahitian. Although it is spoken by only a few thousand native Hawaiians as a primary language, most people in Hawaii learn to speak Hawaiian words that are commonly used in everyday speech. The preservation of the language is an important step to the preservation of the culture. Although the culture of Hawaii was highly developed for many centuries, the language was a spoken language only.... until Protestant missionaries arrived in the early 1800�s. Believing that literacy was the key to conversion to Christianity, the missionaries created an alphabet and dictionary of the language using European letters and pronunciations. This allowed the people to read in their own language. It also made it easier for non-Hawaiians to learn to speak Hawaiian. The Hawaiian language has a musical and flowing quality due to the fact that every syllable ends with a vowel. On the surface this makes the language appear simple. And in fact, pronunciation is simple if certain rules are understood and if the word is written correctly. The complexity of the language becomes clear when one realizes that most words have multiple meanings.....and can have meanings that are not translatable, may be hidden, or even be magical.
