The Hawaiian language, or ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, is part of the Austronesian language family, specifically the Polynesian branch. It originated with the arrival of Polynesian settlers in Hawaii around 1,500 years ago, who brought their language and culture with them. The language has evolved over time, influenced by interactions with other cultures, particularly during European contact in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi is recognized as an official language of Hawaii and is experiencing revitalization efforts.
