Pidgin originally came from the plantation workers because all the foreigners that came to Hawaii didn't know how to speak English well. That is why there are so many different words that are meshed together. Not all native Hawaiians speak pidgin though, as it is actually looked down on. Native Hawaiians were actually very literate and could speak many different languages fluently. It was the foreigners that used it more so and passed it down for many generations after. Therefore pidgin is plantation talk that is broken up because most were uneducated.

Aloha Rose, You are welcome! I think majority of the people in Hawaii didn't learn the truth on pidgin and just assumed that it was spoken by everyone. I hope that more people becomes educated on that too. I too was taught to only speak native Hawaiian or English and to not speak pidgin around my family while growing up. Glad that you were taught the same too. Although pidgin is looked down on by the educated Hawaiians, there is actually a couple of professors that use pidgin in their writing, which I doubt that they are native Hawaiian mixed. I guess they want to keep broken English in the system?...
@jacobr45585 жыл бұрын
"Pidgin" is a type of language that is used in many cultures(not just Hawaii). It is used as a bridge between cultures(similar to a Creole). In Hawaii because you have Hawaiian, Samoan, Tongan, Filipinos, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Guamanian, Laos, English, Portuguese, Spanish(I'm probably forgetting some) and other languages Pidgin gives them all a way to communicate. It has nothing to do with being educated vs being ignorant(I used to think the same thing). There are many very intelligent people who are fluent in Pidgin. It is also recognized as an official language. It's not merely a slang for the ignorant. It's a living, breathing language with a beauty all its own. If you want to stick to Hawaiian and "proper" English that's your choice but you will disconnect yourself from the majority of the population on the islands.

Thats what everyone says but its just an accent. Nothing to do with the foreigners except for the mixed words that are used ei “boto, chichiz, etc”. Hawaii locals talk much like british but shorter and unique. Hia (here), cho (throw), da (the), braddah etc. foreigners had nothing to do with our accent

@Islander Local "standard" English is what is referred to as the lexifier which is used as a tool. In Hawaii Creole English(Pidgin) English words make up about 65% of the language but spoken and defined very differently. It's not that 1 is correct and one is broken. That would be like saying "English" is broken Germanic/French/Latin. Languages all start somewhere as there is no pure language but a combination of other, older languages. HCE is stigmatized the same as many other Pidgin/Creole languages.

It's not that Islanders were not educated individuals. There just needed to be a lingua, a patios, a "Malay" that everyone could all "talk togedda", since there where so many different groups from all over the world working, living and soon MELDING with each other! Who had the time and leisure to study and learn each other's original languages! Who all had the time to be multiple-language (several!!) speakers?

Why do you like speaking Pidgin??? 1. It's a beautiful way to communicate. 2. It's very honest, sincere. We use words like ey, and ho. 1 word can mean many things. no ack, or ey no ack! Or EY NO ACK!!! That's either quit acting stupid, cut it out or you're about to get punched in the face! All depending on how someone says it. It's a language that you have to listen and pay attention to each other. It's respectful.
