Hawaii Linguistics

The Linguistic Landscape of Hawaii

Hawaii, the only U.S. state comprised entirely of islands, is home to a cultural and linguistic mosaic. The state’s linguistic composition has been shaped by its history, reflecting a blending of indigenous, immigrant, and colonial influences. It’s a place where English, Hawaiian, and Hawaii Creole English (‘Pidgin’) coexist and intermingle, alongside an array of other languages spoken by Hawaii’s diverse communities.
