Hello! My name is Andy. How are you?
Let's talk about the Hawaiian language.
Hawaiian is a critically endangered Polynesian language in the Austronesian family, named after Hawaiʻi, the largest island where it developed. It is an official language of Hawaii alongside English. King Kamehameha III established the first Hawaiian-language constitution in 1839-1840. Hawaiian has partial mutual intelligibility with Marquesan (41.2%), Tahitian (37.5%), Samoan (25.5%), and Tongan (6.4%). Prior to Western contact, Hawaiians had no written language apart from petroglyphs. The modern Hawaiian alphabet consists of 13 letters with 5 vowels and 8 consonants is based on the Latin script, with words ending only in vowels and every consonant followed by a vowel.
Hawaii, an island state in the Pacific Ocean, is the only U.S. state not on the North American mainland, the only archipelago, and the only one in the tropics. It consists of 137 volcanic islands, with the eight main islands being Niʻihau, Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Kahoʻolawe, Maui, and Hawaiʻi. Hawaii is exceptionally biologically diverse, hosting over 25,000 unique species, many of which are endemic. The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park features two of the world's most active volcanoes, Kīlauea and Mauna Loa. Mauna Kea, another Hawaiian volcano, is the tallest mountain from base to peak in the world, measuring approximately 10,205 meters. Additionally, Papahānaumokuākea is the largest marine protected area globally, rich in diverse terrestrial and marine life.
Notable Hawaiians include Kamehameha the Great, who unified the Hawaiian Islands, and Queen Liliʻuokalani, the last monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Hawaiians greet each other with the Honi ihu, or exchange of breath, an ancient practice where two people press their noses together and inhale simultaneously. The lei, a garland made from flowers, feathers, shells, seeds, or hair, symbolizes Hawaii and was historically worn by chiefs to signify rank. Hula, a complex art form involving dance and chants, serves religious, entertainment, and historical purposes. The concept of mālama ʻāina, or taking care of the land, highlights the deep connection Hawaiians have with their environment. Native Hawaiian culture, both before and after European contact, is rich with arts such as feather work, kapa (bark cloth), petroglyphs, wood and stone carvings, and tattoos. These art forms, meticulously crafted and imbued with deep meaning, served practical, social, and spiritual functions.

My fav language. Simple and mild. I first fell in love with Hawaiian when I listened to Keali’l Reichel’s music. Hawaiian is one of endangered languages available in Duolingo. Love from Thailand ❤
Aloha, mahalo nui loa to Andy and our host of PAC this year! Although I didn't participate in the event but Hawaii is certainly our best ally and family of the Austronesian unity.🎉
Lima gang ❤ Let's see the similarities between my local language and Hawaiian.
Ihu = Idung
Maka = Mata
Ai = makan/makai
Au = aku
Oe = kau
Ia = dia/iya/ia
I'a = ikan
Niu = niok
Ao = awan
Honua = benua (continent)
Wahine = wanita
Makani = mata angin (direction of the wind)
Ua = Ujan/Hujan
Wai = air
Lani = langit (sky)
The hawaiian language although sounds far away from its family in the malay world, we can still traces evidence of their relationship. One of the reason why we dont see similarities is due to semantic shift (the original meaning of the word has now been replaced). Another is due to the further the group travelled from the starting point (lets say Luzon/Taiwan), the more they drop letters from the original word.
An example would be lani, which means heaven. We know that people usually refers to heaven as being above us (and hell under), so here we can see that the hawaiian changes the use of langit from sky into heaven. And here we can also see the hawaiian language drop the g and t letters turning the word almost unrecognisable to the malay archipelago as now it has different meaning, spelling and pronounciation. Another letter dropping example from above is in Ua(Ujan) and I'a(Ikan). Semantic shift can also be seen in Honua(Benua, both language had semantic shift, but still very similar to the proto-austronesian word banua which means land).
In the word Matani for example, we can see how the word changed the further we travel.
Mata angin (Malay) -> Matangi (Maori) -> Matani (Hawaiian)
They are both austronesian languages so there are some similarities

'Ohana means family and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

Aloha! Hawaiʻi is an Island Nation situated in the Pacific. The inhabitants of Hawaiʻi are Polynesian and speak the Hawaiian language.
Hawaiʻi first became a nation in 1810, when King Kamehameha I first unified the Hawaiian Archipelago. It was a fully sovereign and internationally recognised country, however, the United States decided to annex it in 1898 during their expansion to the Pacific, like they did with the Philippines.
Since then, and especially since 1959, when it became officially a US state under US law, the United States government officially claims the archipelago as an integral part of their territory.
However, the Hawaiian people, as well as international legal experts worldwide specialising in international law and indigenous rights, have disputed this claim, some claiming it as a sovereign nation under temporary occupation.
Some compare it to situations like Tibet or Kurdistan, and some to Taiwan.
The continuous rule of the island by foreigners has had a very negative impact on the native population, with many Hawaiians becoming homeless and very poor, all while the tourism industry exploits the Hawaiian culture all while giving more negatives than positives to the Hawaiians. The local government institutions imposed by Washington often claim that Hawaiʻi would collapse without tourism, but that's only true because of the overreliance that this regime had on tourism, disregarding any local industry and any senblence of self sufficiency.
Any kind of traditional agricultural practises that supported sustainability and subsistance farming are replaced with huge industries mostly for rich foreigners, including non Hawaiians living there. Like the widening of highways, animal agriculture, large resorts, golf terrains and cruises.
The tourism industry continues to exploit Hawaiian culture all while having an incredibly negative impact on this exact culture. Air travel by itself is incredibly damaging to the local population, but this is on top of all these resorts and beaches, which make the traditional lifestyle impossible to maintain.
As a result, the Hawaiian nationals end up being delegated to a small marginalised and economically poor minority, instead of a self sufficient nation.
A lot of Hawaiians are also forced to leave their islands, mostly to go to Las Vegas, which continues the trend of empires making different nations being forced to migrate for economic reasons, basically destroying their identity. The Japanese and Americans living in Hawaii don't learn the Hawaiian language, and neither do the Hawaiians living in Las Vegas know either Hawaiian nor the local Indigenous language, which ends up drastically reducing the number of speakers of the language, as well as the number of people strictly self identifying as Hawaiian or as Paiute and actively practising their culture.
It isn't surprising that Hawaiian fell from a large majority to a very small minority. Despite having a large oral tradition of beautiful songs, as well as a written tradition (Hawaiian constitution and Hawaiian journals), it's almost extinct now.
In any case, what's crystal clear, is that Hawaii remains much more linked with other Polynesian nations, or even to Pacific Islanders and Austronesians in general, than to mainland Americans. Hawaiʻi doesn't really correspond to the American vision of a White Christian Western civilization.
And therefore, it would be great if Hawaii was compared more to other Polynesian Nations like Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga or Aotearoa in its culture rather than the US states just for the reason of being under the same sovereignity.
Mhm. Free Hawai’i ✊🏼💛💚❤️
They also have many food for all people
It actuall has five short vowels and five long vowels, making a 17-letter alphabet

It would be cool to compare the Niihau Hawaiian dialect and Standard Hawaiian. I've heard it is really hard to understand for the speakers of other islands.
Could you make Iraqi Arabic and Persian?
Imagine if the Rock spoke this! It'd be headline news around the world! 😆😆
Next do Banjarese language
King Kamehameha from Kame House xd
Hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i ka marathi a me ka kannada?!!!! a me ka wikiō nui!!!!
Very cool
Burushaski, please
Can Filipino speakers understand this language?
The numbers are similiar. Aside from them, a couple of words but not really a lot. It sounds familiar but not close. It's like how Danish sounds to English maybe
No
Tamasheq and the rest tamazight languages in front of that language, are sounding like a "kindergarten" on learning them!!!
"Onasughamiso"!!!! 😲😲😲
i have no problem for you using the native hawaiian flag instead the one with the Union Jack (used for the Kingdom and then later, the US State flag) 🇬🇧🏝🌋
That "native" Hawaiian flag has doubtful origin, right?
@@kzm-cb5mrsome say it's the "original" but it was introduced in 2001
