[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

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

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

:D :D:D funny language but sweet

its like japanese, isnt it?

[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. ;)

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
