As a Tongan and listening many words I can understand and many you use the K and we use a T like Niihau. I think the answer to the language is not lost but still there. You need to look at the other islands nearby in Polynesia who the language is spoken. Not to translate how someone speaks English but how a Samoan, Tongan, Tahitian or Māori or one of the other languages would say it. Same as Tongan if you translate it in English it does no make sense. When William Mariner wrote his book the Hawaiians on his boat before the Tongan took over understood the Tongans and were unharmed and sent back to Hawaii. Ofa Lahi Atu and Keep The Fight Alive

@@shenglongisback4688 There’s dna proof that Micronesians aren’t related genetically to either Melanesians or Polynesians. Micronesians are the only people in Oceania with zero new Britain Papua ancestry, that means they aren’t of Oceania (the pacific) because all Melanesians and Polynesians have new Britain Papuan ancestry. They traced Micronesians ancestry to Indonesia, it’s so conclusive that they even know specifically where in Indonesia Micronesians originated (Sulawesi). This means Micronesians are Asians who migrated into Oceania, but are not oceanian genetically.

@@shenglongisback4688 I’m aware of the paper you’re referring to, however it wasn’t peer reviewed and it’s “abstract” meaning it’s just someone’s theory, there’s no incontrovertible proof to back it. None the less, even if we assume this persons theory is correct, the theory wasn’t that it was settled by Polynesians, it never mentioned a settlement, only a migration and that goes along with what we already know, which is that Polynesians traveled into Micronesian for trade (so did Melanesians), but left. Essentially all of Micronesian aboriginals were of Asian ancestry (Indonesians from Sulawesi) and lacked new Britain Papuan ancestry (Papuan ancestry is the key of what makes someone oceanian or Pacific Islander, all of us have NB Papuan ancestry, except Micronesians), and this includes Kapingamarangi and Nukuoro, they have the same Indonesian ancestry, that’s where all Micronesians originated. This is why Polynesian and Melanesian languages are only considered a “subgroup” of the austronesian language family, both Polynesians and Melanesian languages existed prior to exposure to Austronesian speakers. Polynesians and Melanesians had to learn some Austronesian words in order to trade with people who spoke Austronesian languages and so our languages have some Austronesian mixed into it because of that, but we aren’t truly of the Austronesian language family. Essentially what happened in Kapingamarangi and Nukuoro (which are atolls btw, not islands) is they were the same Asians from Indonesia that populate the rest of Micronesia and trade migrations from Melanesia and Polynesia came through and at some point someone(s) slept with them. It’s a genetic admixture and not necessarily present in everyone, whereas their origin ancestry is present in everyone. For example, if a white man went there and slept with someone, it doesn’t make everyone there white, they’re still Indonesians, it’s just that white mans descendants who have some white ancestry. The presence of Polynesian language is most likely prevalent because of proximity, it most likely where trade occurred the most, so the people there learned the language to be able to trade and vice versa. Essentially they are Indonesian and the Melanesians and Polynesian found in some people is just an admixture.

In Samoan poko can mean head but it usually is just used to say bald now and also can mean smart. In Tongan pehe means to recall or to relate something depending on the context. And then in Samoan pese is song relative to the Tahitian term.

When I returned to Oʻahu, to reconnect with cousins I had not seen in 40 years last year, we talked story and I was especially interested in my grandfather, who was the last indigenous speaker in the family. I became the first to return, hearing a deep inner call to come home to the language. I was struck by the similarity in stories and life experiences in relation to family, but also, by one cousin saying when she asked about his time as a child, he said the overthrow of the government broke his heart. That this action set Hawaiians against Hawaiians and when I hear conversations that label some forms of the Hawaiian language today as a thing that insults the kupuna, I experience a strong value judgement, I feel and hear the same division I have heard since a small child. I am choosing to walk a different way. This dialog prompted me to look at how language evolves. Of course it is a different language because the times have shifted radically and the shift in language and lifestyles reflects this. It is normal and natural. I also makes my inner pele lava rumble and roll to label a particular practice of "word invention" as something that is insulting to the kupuna when the one speaking translates books written in English into Hawaiian and uses the very things a part of the new language that is somehow being articulated as less. Something happens when you are in the elder phase and I have no more energy for division. My very strong opinion is, I feel immense love and gratitude for each and every grammar book written, for the early writings of Malo and Fornander and Kepalino, the newspapers. For the tremendous effort to record some of the beautiful voices. Anyone who makes an effort to learn a little bit, I feel so much respect, so much gratitude. I donʻt want my Hawaiian ancestors to be erased by the language disappearing. To me, what is more important is the quality of the soul, the heart, how we ARE in relation to the world, to the land and the waters, the respect and love we show our ancestors, our caretaking for the benefit of all life and for those that are coming, not if our ʻōlelo uses an ʻokina in a written form, not if there is a word that is borrowed from the English language or one that is crafted to give a name to something our ancestors did not have.It is the heart and our actions. Pau kēia kahe o ʻōlelo. Boundaries.

Critical thinking, observing. I am okay, you are okay, we are all okay, and anyone making an effort to learn Hawaiian, respect, thank you for giving creative energy to the words you are learning. All language evolves and changes as society evolves and changes. This is a normal and natural occurrence. It is my experience and understanding that colonialism pitted Hawaiians against Hawaiians and this in my view continues on among the people to this day, and coining integration of words "invented" as a part of a second language, and expressing this as an "insult" to the kupuna is a way of conveying somehow that it is not pono in the speakers view (to me at least, this is how it comes across) this pits one form against another. What is unsettling to me personally is having a copy of the Hobbit in Hawaiian, and how there are words in the book that I imagine the "native speaker" referred to in this view would not understand that is a part of the "invention" process that seems to be disparaged. So, in essence, following the logic, the speaker is showing disrepect to the kupuna through its use. I see what has occurred with the Hawaiian language as a bold and courageous act of resiliency. How the elders at one time observed that the young ones were not speaking and action was taken to preserve the language and it flowed with the changes. Yes, there may have been actions in the process of forming the immersion schools that might not have been perfect and might have been awkward, but I am grateful they exist! Not all speakers have access to relationships with Ni'ihau speakers, and yes, this is true, it is the only unbroken line remaining, but language varied from the bits I have gathered, from region to region, and even the way it was spoken among strata of community differed according to the teaching of one kupuna. For me, moving forward, it is mostly about intention, authenticity, integrity, honesty, hard work, embracing responsibility. As a part of my journey it felt like a call from my ancestors to come home to the language and I have been heeding the call reading and listening and digesting as much as I can. I don't have the luxury of being day to day in an environment embraced by those whose first language was Hawaiian. In fact, I can expect what my father called the haole stink eye, and expressions of the genocide wound in form of non-acceptance from some at being a Turtle Islander. My ancestors have planted me elsewhere. Just as ancestors of the Hawaiians came from other islands the flow continues of moving to other lands. What is beautiful about being here, is there are the chance occasions where I may meet an indigeous, as I did recently, and how they welcomed me with a warm embrace saying our grandmother says we are canoe brothers, this type of warmth, not counting degree of Hawaiian blood, not judging the type of Hawaiian speaking coming out of my mouth or the oli chanted as a blessing, they gave aloha, I gave aloha, we celebrated that we were able to speak in whatever form and whatever degree the language of our ancestors. In my older age, I just don't have the energy for divisiveness.
@freerangemakerАй бұрын
There is the added layer, in referring to a particular community of speakers, about the spiritual nature within language, and how the paradigm completely shifted with embrace of colonizers religions, with language and prayers and chants which I suspect are no longer alive within the "native speaker" community referred to because of this radical shift in religion. This along with an awareness of the flow of seasons and time following the Gregorian calendar rather than the lunar Hawaiian calendar and the layers of insight in relation to this spiritually, agriculturally, fishing, etc. This to me is the larger harm, not the words coming out of the mouth, but the nature of the human heart/gut and seeming lack of capacity to critically think inside some of the colonizer religions, how that can pit family members against family members who perhaps do not experience these religions as authentic to a personal path, and injurious even. (the indigenous on Turtle Island experienced the same with colonizer religions, the trauma within the churches, in my lived experience, same). How, for 200 years, going back as far as Kepalino's writings, the hula and the oli, these were seen as really bad, even calling the oli as things crafted by the devil. So, while there is an unbroken line of speaking, the deeper layers of language have shifted, how one relates spiritually, the paradigm of colonizers understanding of Isu, that thought it their right to steal land, suppress culture, suppress language. The Ni'ihau speakers have a strong faith in a foreign god from what I can gather from looking at music sung. Not good or bad, it just is what it is. If you really want to be a purist, I imagine one could limit themselves to the vocabulary only found in the earliest writings one can find and one would also leave the colonizer religions, one would attune to the moon, the solstices and equinoxes, and would live by the value systems of that time, and pray in a way the ancients prayed. This to me is the bigger concern, how critical thinking has been attacked through this colonizing mindset in the religions (which goes hand in hand with harming the land, in that, the root of this is the belief that their god gave them the right to the land above others) and how the connection to ancestors has been broken because to pray to an 'aumakua for example might be considered demonic.
