This is a BEAUTIFUL language! Vowels are so attractive... Every word in Hawaiian ends in a vowel. I love that for some reason. :) lol

[donzaliko]

:D :D:D funny language but sweet

its like japanese, isnt it?

[mixedpapii]

There is way more than a 1000 speakers lol. and for those who are asking about the K vs T and the L's vs R's. Both sets of letters sound almost the same. The missionaries couldnt tell the difference between them, so they accepted K and L vs T and R. However in Niihau they still have the original dialect, and most pure form of the Hawaiian language. But only certain words are with T. for ex. Kahakai (beach) is kahatai in Niihau and not tahatai which is Tahitian for beach.

mahalo no teia wikio

[blaccbutterfly1]

it almost sounds like spanish english and japanese combined, very unique

[OrganicAndFree]

It's actually a Polynesian language which is a language category of the Australasian languages. It's closely related to Marquesan and Tahitian (French polynesia), Maori (New Zealand). Native Hawaiian are decedents of different Polynesian groups in fact! I think it's cool! lol :D

[blaccbutterfly1]

i need to research this more lol

[OrganicAndFree]

Yeah but I'm sure it'd be interesting to research though. i recently did some research on the borrowing of Latin words pre-Anglicisation of the Irish language. I'm Irish by the way and I speak Irish Gaelic. It's a small language like Hawai'ian but it has a high official status in the Irish Republic and the European union. ;)

[2553shean]

@OrganicAndFree yes they are different kind of polynesian groups but very much the same as maori samoan and tongan

[SaturnProds]

is that what spanish sounds like??? i've always wondered how my language sounds to other people.

[EurovisionSongFreak]

@SaturnProds No no no.. Not at all.. I am spanish and know equal spanish and hawaiian.. nothing at all ! :D

Spanish sounds for fluid but with different tones. Hawaiian is different :)

[GatorsGirl2010]

Nui, Nunui!!

[fbuggy9]

I just love listening to this. The language is so beatiful. Its so sad theres only 1000 speakers left.

[akumie]

wikipedia says 2000 native and 27.000 other -_-

[sarahandjulesa]

i wanna move to hawaii

[honeygirlpohai]

yea, we wen eat captin cook! betta watch out braddah!!! lmfao

[skanthavelu]

Aloha! Hawaiian is such a beautiful language! I love that language so much!

I noticed in some of the Hawaiian language posts that the T is appearing in some words. ie: teia, motu and hiti. Aren't R and T obsoleste in Hawaiian, with the acception of the Ni'ihau dialect? Please clarify this for me. Mahalo!

[rsiminig21]

Can you translate this monologue into English?

[manutahi13]
