However, the number of those who could speak the language dwindled to several thousand. In the 1970's a renaissance of the Hawaiian culture emerged, and a renewed respect for the native language of the Hawaiian people was born. In 1978, Hawaiian once again was made an official language of the State of Hawaii. By 1987, schools were again allowed to teach the language. Immersion programs began in the islands. The immersion approach teaches students Hawaiian language, history, and culture. In the schools that have adopted the immersion program, the students speak and write in Hawaiian each day, for the entire day. The teachers for the programs also incorporate other Hawaiian subjects into their class such as a Hawaiian dish, if the class is dealing with home economics. In 1990, the United States government established a policy recognizing the right of Hawaii to preserve, use and support its indigenous language.

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 .

Was Hawaiian Language Illegal? Did the Evil Haoles Suppress Hawaiian Language As A Way of Oppressing Kanaka Maoli and Destroying Their Culture? Kenneth R. Conklin, Ph.D. Hawaiian sovereignty activists like to say that "Hawaiian language was made illegal." They like to say that "Here in our own homeland we were forbidden from speaking Hawaiian, and our grandmothers have told us how they were punished for speaking it." The activists like to say Hawaiian language was illegal because it magnifies their claim to victimhood status. It's one more way those haole oppressors turned the natives of this land into a poor, downtrodden people who have the worst statistics for education, health, incarceration drug abuse, etc. "Those haoles stole our land, and our nation, and even made our language illegal right here in our own homeland. So of course we're angry, we feel deep pain, and we're entitled to huge reparations for the damage done to us." The editor of this website, Ken Conklin, has personally heard and seen such claims frequently asserted on TV, in Hawaiian history and language classes, and in published newspaper articles, since first coming to live permanently in Hawai'i in 1992. Some Maui high school students started publishing letters to editor trumpeting this claim in December 2003; at which point Ken Conklin decided to begin accumulating these statements for posterity.
