Hawaiian is the language that was spoken when the hawaiians lived in Hawaii and before the law 100 years ago that made speaking hawaiian illegal so the hawaiians created a newspaper and taught themselve to write as well as read. the news papers were in hawaiian which allowed them to converse without being arrested and no one else knew the language so theyy could talk crap if they wanted. HAwaiian was also able to be spoken only in the homes and was taught to the children. after it was re-legalized to speak hawaiian, the language had already diminished but was taught and kept alive by the hawaiians. It is the language that originated In the state of Hawaii. Hawaiians called the island of Hawaii, Keawe. "Ka moku o Keawe" is "the island of Hawaii" (Kah moh-ku oh kay-ah-ve)
