Hawaii creole english, or in other words “pidgin,” is based on the english language, but also containing words from many other languages. Some of those languages include Hawaiian, Japanese, Portuguese, and more. Hawaii pidgin english is widely used in everyday conversations, television shows, and advertisements. Hawaii creole english was created many years ago, but is used by a large number of people on the Hawaiian islands, as well as on the mainland. Hawai’i creole english was first established around the 1800’s, when Hawaii started recruiting laborers from all over the globe to work on the sugar plantations. The laborers consisted of people from China, Portugal, Japan, Korea, Puerto Rico, Russia, Spain, the Philippines, and other countries (Hargrove, Sakota, and Siegel 1). Since there were such a diverse group of people, they all spoke different languages. Which made it hard for them to communicate. Thus, Hawai 'i creole english was soon developed and became the primary source of communication among all the different ethnic groups (Thompson 1). During the plantations, the children born during that time period were starting to attend school. That is when many of them first came into contact with standard english, since majority of them already spoke hawaii pidgin (Scanlan 1). Ever since the plantations, more than half of Hawaiis population today speak pidgin. Majority of the Hawaii pidgin comes from the english language, but are also contained from other languages.

In AL 1050 Languages in the Pacific I have learned many different concepts that has to do with the Pacific Rim.

I came to America with my mother at the age of eight. Neither of us spoke a word of English, but it was not challenging for me to learn English, however, my mother did not come to America at a young age, she was already mature with lots on her mind. Coming to this whole new world, feeling like an alien and having to adapt to so many different things, it was hard for her to learn the language. I thought her a few words and phrases from time to time and sometimes I spoke to her in creole, our native language, when I have to translate something to her or because I desired to speak my native language. After reading American Multilingualism: A National Tragedy I get the impression that Franklin Raff, the author, is making it seem like English is

Choosing a colony is harder than it looks! Both colonies are a good choice, but only one can be chosen. Of course you want to join the colony that has the most advantages which will benefit you in the long run, so I will be comparing and contrasting both colonies to list the benefits you want. Bradford's colony won’t abandon you and will embrace you as a family member. While on the other hand, if you are on Captain John Smith's Crew you will get to travel the sea and claim new territory, but if you get sick or injured you will be left for dead. Advantages and disadvantages we all have our own thirst for adventure and will make it hard to choose between the two colonies.
Can you translate the word “hau’oli”? Most likely not, unless you live on one of the eight islands of Hawai’i and speak fluent ‘olelo Hawai’i, (Hawaiian language). Language is much more than just a means of communication, it is an important aspect of a culture. Language is an important social function by which cultural values are preserved. This is true for people and cultures everywhere. Language allows us to pass on the ideas and knowledge of our culture to the next generation. It allows cultures to develop and grow because its people are able to share previous experiences and give guidance on what needs to be to be done to perpetuate the culture. Without language, culture would not exist.

Hawaiian is unique among the fifty states, especially in regards to its native music form, which is still preformed, and captivates audiences even today. Hawaiian chanting, music, and dance are not only key parts of life on the island, but have also become cultural icons as well as profound symbols of nature and religion in Hawaii. Hawaii has a rich history, beginning with the early settlers from Polynesia who brought their traditions and religions to Hawaii. Over the years, the inhabitants took those traditions and adapted them to their new home, creating the definitive culture that, even with Western influences, still is a captivating force within the society.

The evolution of Caribbean Literature started centuries before the Europeans graced these shores and continues to develop today. Quite noticeably, it developed in a manner which transcended all language barriers and cultures. Today the languages of the Caribbean are rooted in that of the colonial powers - France, Britain, Spain and Holland - whose historical encounters are quite evident throughout the region. The cosmopolitan nature of the region's language and cultural diversity develop from the mixture of European languages with Native American languages (mainly the Caribs and Arawaks) in the formation of creoles and local patois (hybrid languages) and those of Africans brought to the Caribbean as
