Does Harvard Law School or Colorado Springs take Hawaiian as a foreign language?

Answer 1

First, I am not sure what you are asking: the Hawaiian language is not required anywhere; and the state of Hawaii is an English-speaking state. Historically, there was a language called "Hawaiian"-- it is a Polynesian language and it has twelve letters. Traditional Hawaiian still survives today in a sort of pidgin (slang) that contains a number of old Hawaiian words (including "aloha"). It should be noted that fewer and fewer people are fluent in it these days. A few schools in Hawaii are eager to preserve this historical language, and there are some courses in Hawaiian as a result. But President Obama, as well as everyone else born and raised in Hawaii, was taught only English. Also, given the limited popularity of traditional Hawaiian, it is doubtful that it is among the foreign languages that a school like Harvard requires-- nearly every college has a language requirement for admission, but that usually means French, or Spanish, or some other global language that is considered influential world-wide (more schools are offering Chinese, for example).
