Extractions: Main Sections: Quick Facts People History Nature ... Islands Note on Usage Writing the Hawaiian language on the Web presents challenges since most browsers will not read the diacritical marks that are sometimes critical to meaning and pronunciation. In most places, we omit the diacritical marks in our text and show the correctly spelled Hawaiian word in parentheses, using ' for the 'okina and ^ for the kahakô. See for online resources. The words and phrases of the Hawaiian language are all around us in the islands, in our place names, street names, many popular songs, on TV and radio, and also on TheBus, at the beach and wherever local folks gather. Most visitors have learned a small vocabulary before they leave and newcomers soon find themselves mixing some Hawaiian words into their everyday speech. Some of the language we hear is not really the Hawaiian language, which is called

Makalei, a plant believed to have supernatural properties, was formerly used by Hawaiian fishermen to attract fish. In a similar way, this project is designed to attract community members and gain their support and involvement in the long range goal of Hawaiian language regenesis. The purpose of this project was, first of all, to describe the current status of Hawaiian language use in the Kula Kaiapuni Hawai'i community. This communitythe most actively involved in efforts to rejuvenate the Hawaiian languageis composed of the immediate and extended family, friends, and others in the social networks of children attending the Hawaiian language immersion schools on O'ahu.

Extractions: Quick Facts People History Language ... Nature Hawaiian Language is the Hawaiian phrase for the the language of the people of Hawai'i, which shares many similarities in pronunciation and meaning with other Polynesian languages and dialects. The Hawaiian alphabet, devised by Protestant missionaries in the 19th century, uses 12 letters (a, e, h, i, k, l, m, n, o, p, u, and w) plus two diacritical marks. At times, one will see T in place of K; R in place of L; and B in place of P. Examples: kalo = taro and kapu = tabu. In English the diacritical marks are called a "glottal stop" and a "macron." In Hawaiian, they are called 'okina and . They are critical to both pronunciation and meaning. The 'okina is a sound similar to what comes between uh and oh when we say "uh-oh!". There is a hesitation or catch that separates the two sounds so they are not blended together. The 'okina is only used between vowels or in front of a vowel at the beginning of a word, such as the word 'okina itself.

Wired 3.08 How Do You Say Computer In Hawaiian?
Wired article on the role of technology in the hawaiian language revival movement.
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/3.08/hawaii.html

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Pronunciations Visitors to Hawaii are commonly amazed at the long Hawaiian place names and long strings of vowels in Hawaiian words. Names such as Kalanianaole Highway, a stretch of the Kamehameha Highway, and Aiea, a community west of Honolulu, leave visitors at a loss to pronounce them. The pronunciation of such words, however, is quite easy to figure out, since every vowel is pronounced. Just take your time, pronounce every vowel as you go, and you've got it. Well.... almost. It's not quite as simple as that. A number of the vowels are pronounced differently than in English. But what helps a little is the fact that each vowel is always pronounced the same way. There is no "o," for example, pronounced one way in a word like "come," another way in "comrade," and another way in "moon" as is the case with the "o" in the English language. The prominent differences in pronunciation are roughly these: a Pronounced "ah" and never "ay." "Kamehameha," for example, starts off "kah...," not "Kam..." as in the word "camera."

Extractions: Hawaiian Language Hawaii has been enjoying a cultural renaissance over the past several decades. Many areas of Hawaiian life have been positively affected by the resurgence in interest in things Hawaiian such as the song and dance of the islands and particularly the spoken Hawaiian language. School children are taught Hawaiian words as part of their normal curriculum and some communities share experiences with one another strictly in Hawaiian language. Some schools only use Hawaiian language and public schools all generally teach some of this beautiful language to their students. So that you can understand some of the more common words we provide the following list and their meanings. Aloha! Aloha Hello, goodbye, and I love you. Also a feeling of well-being.

Extractions: The People, Culture and Language of Hawai'i While every state in the U.S. has its own cultural identity, Hawai'i is perhaps the most unique. It has a proud heritage and, until 1900, was an indpendent nation. I have observed people are friendlier in Hawai'i; especially in the less crowded parts of O'ahu and the Neighbor Islands. People are quick to smile and wave; even extending the shaka (a sign of greeting made be extending the pinkie and thumb while curling up the three middle fingers of the right hand). Visitors to the Islands can reciprocate this friendliness by showing respect for Island culture and by following a few simple rules. This page is something I put together for my own use in the land of aloha. I hope other visitors and those who move to the Islands find it helpful as well. Conduct and Customs A wise traveler soon graduates from hearing and seeing to listening and observing. Speaking is good for the ego, while listening is good for the soul. In Hawai'i, it is considered impolite to stare. A smile costs nothing, but is priceless. People are judged in Hawai'i not so much by what they wear, but by who they are underneath. Clothing is casual, but cleanliness is important. For men, short-sleaved floral aloha shirts and slacks with dark shoes are appropriate for all but the most formal occasions (I've never seen anyone there wear a tie!). Women also dress more casually for business and social occasions than on the mainland.

Extractions: 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:
Comparing Cree, Hualapai, Maori, And Hawaiian Language Programs
The importance of the hawaiian language in Hawaiian schools has been validated bythe academic success of the Punana Leo students. hawaiian language programs.
http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~jar/TIL_21.html

Extractions: 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

Extractions: Neighbor Island Editor Former Kane'ohe resident Kaili'anu Michaels feels a strong sense of obligation to learn her native language so she can deepen her understanding of Hawaiian culture and pass on the ancient ways. But she wasn't having much luck connecting with her roots while living in northern Virginia the past 10 years. Now, modern computer technology is helping her to do just that. Michaels, 52, and her daughter, Lanakila, 33, who lives in North Carolina, are among the 20 students enrolled in the first-ever, college-level online Hawaiian language class that is being offered through the University of Hawai'i-Hilo's College of Continuing Education and Community Service. The inaugural class, which started Monday, was marketed to Native Hawaiians and former Hawai'i residents living on the Mainland, who have no access to such instruction, said Margaret Haig, dean of the College of Continuing Education and Community Service.

http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/current/il/islandsounds

Extractions: Advertiser Entertainment Writer A classic 'ukulele stylist returns for more instrumentals aimed at the Japanese market and a New York-produced disc tries to find an audience here. All in all, great listening. "Among My Souvenirs" by Anelaikalani (Shaka Records) Genre: Traditional Hawaiian. Distinguishing notes: At 14, Anelaikalani has completed her third disc, this one compiling an atmospheric list of songs that suit her old-style falsetto tones. The title is hitched to a Genoa Keawe signature from the past, "My Hawaiian Souvenir," with the thrust of the CD geared to her ability to bring innocence and expression to titles from yesteryear. Best bet: "I Ali'i No Oe," with the real "auntie" sound being perpetuated by the likes of Amy Hanaiali'i Gilliom. Other gems: "Ka Lei E," "Le'Ohu," "I Ka Po Me Ke Ao" and "Nanea I Kou Nani." Too bad liner lyrics are not included as a listener's bonus. Our take: The third time's the charmer for Anelaikalani.
