The two official languages of the U.S. State of Hawaii are:

  1. English
  2. Hawaiian


English is the common language of Hawaii, spoken by nearly everyone.

Hawaiian is taught in schools, but only about 26,000 people can speak it fluently, which is less than 5% of the population of ethnic Hawaiians.


Hawaiian Creole English, often inaccurately called "Hawaiian Pidgin", is spoken by about 600,000 people. It is not related to a language called Pidgin Hawaiian,which went extinct in the mid 20th Century.


Here is a list of the most common languages of Hawaii:

  1. English
  2. Hawaiian Creole English
  3. Hawaiian
  4. American Sign Language
  5. Japanese
  6. Spanish
