"National Geographic" deemed it the second best adventure in the country. Like the Hawaiian islands themselves, the Hawaiian language is unique among the world's languages. Originally, Hawaiian was a spoken language and did not exist in written form. When western missionaries came to Hawaii, they transposed the sounds and characters of the Hawaiian language onto the Roman alphabet. While this did allow Hawaii's native peoples the benefits of a written language, as you might expect, there were many gaps created when the flowing spoken word and all it's subtlety was forced into a box in which it didn't really fit.

The school represents a turnaround for the native language in the islands, which appeared 20 years ago to be fading away. A 1983 survey estimated that only 1,500 people remained in Hawaii who could speak it, most of them elderly. Today there are probably 6,000 to 8,000 Hawaiian language speakers throughout the state, most of them under the age of 30, said Kalena Silva, professor of Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii-Hilo.

    Extractions: Seven constants: h, k, l, m, n, p, w and the vowels: a, e, i, o, u make up the Hawaiian alphabet. What could be easier? But there's a twist - Hawaiian along with several Polynesian languages, uses two diacritical marks to change the pronunciation and meaning of words. The kahako is a macron, a short, horizontal line that is used over vowels. It indicates to the speaker to slightly draw out the sound of the vowel that it appears over. The final "o" in kahako has a macron above it. The 'okina is the single, open quote that appears frequently before vowels. It indicates a glottal stop or clear break between vowels, such as in the english phrase "uh-oh". The 'okina is easy to duplicate in type using the single apostrophe. But, when used on a website it can cause difficulty with Internet search tools. For example, a search on "Hawai'i" and "Hawaii" do not always return the same results. The macron is impossible to implement with current technology, except with downloadable fonts. But using these fonts would make our pages inaccessible to users without the latest graphic oriented browsers. So we have chosen to use the correct diacritical markings for all graphics, but are unable to use them in regular text.

The results of this study can assist other indigenous communities interested in implementing language immersion education for language revival and school reform. Research Design Literature Review A literature review of indigenous language immersion programs was conducted in order to situate Paphana Kaiapuni within the context of other similar programs worldwide. Searches were conducted on the ERIC databases and on the world wide web using the keywords "immersion education" and "indigenous language." Historical Analysis An analysis of the historical and political events that led to the development and implementation of Papahana Kaiapuni was conducted. Data for this study were gathered through (a) semi-structured interviews with 10 people who were involved in early program development; (b) a review of research, newspaper, and newsletter articles written about the program; and (c) a content analysis of 207 pertinent Department of Education (DOE) and Board of Education (BOE) documents dated between 1987 and 1995.

Yamauchi, University of Hawaii Introduction This study is the first of its kind to document how this unique program began and has developed. There were two major research questions that guided the project: 1. What is involved in the development and implementation of a kindergarten to grade 12 indigenous language immersion program? That is, what historical and political events led to the institution and development of the program? How are its efforts sustained? How is the Hawaiian language immersion program similar and different from other immersion and indigenous bilingual programs? 2. What are the perspectives of students and their families, teachers, and administrators regarding the program goals, outcomes, and activities?

92. Comparing Cree, Hualapai, Maori, And Hawaiian Language Programs

    Extractions: Dawn B. Stiles This paper compares Cree, Hualapai, Maori, and Hawaiian indigenous language programs and describes common components and problems of implementation. Characteristics shared by the four programs are discussed in regard to their implications for other language groups interested in implementing their own programs. The author concludes that successful programs need to link language and culture, need written teaching materials, and need community support and parental involvement and that successful programs can fight gang activity, alcohol and drug abuse, and a high dropout rates in indigenous communities. This paper examines four indigenous language programs to compare common components, problems, and outcomes. The programs are Cree Way in Quebec, Hualapai in Arizona, Te Kohanga Reo in New Zealand, and Punana Leo in Hawai'i. The programs were chosen based on four criteria. First, the indigenous language can be categorized as in Stage 6 using Fishman's (1991) graded intergenerational disruption scale for threatened languages or in Stage 3 using Schmidt's (1990) scalethe language is no longer transmitted to the younger generation (in the home or in the community). Only some older people still speak the native tongue as their primary language, and everyday communication uses a replacement language (English in these four communities). The range of speech styles is limited and semi-speakers exist in the middle generations. A semi-speaker is an individual who understands but does not speak the language in its standard form (Schmidt, 1990). According to Dixon

Hawaiian is now frequently heard in gatherings of the Hawaiian community: at birthday parties, concerts, and sporting events to name a few places. It is becoming possible to write checks in Hawaiian, buy goods in a large store, and order food at a restaurant with a Hawaiian speaking person. Revitalization is evident to observers both within and outside the Hawaiian community. The role of the University of Hawai'i The University of Hawai'i is committed to extending Hawaiian language education, especially the full development of Hawaiian immersion in the educational system. The Hawai'i Department of Education expects the University to be the primary agency to guide and assist all educational programs. In that effort the University trains the teachers, conducts evaluations of the programs, prepares materials in various subjects and numerous reading textbooks, conducts classes for inservice teachers, and coordinates many activities with the schools. We are also providing language training to many students who will never become teachers but will become parents, friends, and relatives to children who can now grow up speaking Hawaiian. Our commitments to teaching Hawaiian include:

Sorry, correction: there are two spelling mistakes in Monastersky's tutorial. In fact he cites seven words and misspells two of them. That's a success rate of under 72%, which gets him a grade of D according to the scale I use. For more details, read on . . . Melissa Fox of Oxford, U.K., was the first to mail me with the spelling mistake I had in mind. The existence of the second spelling error (a straightforward misspelling, but not an impossible phonological form) was pointed out to me by Sandra Fan of the Computer Science department at the University of Washington. It is not clear who should get the prize any more, so they both get their names on Language Log, and here is the scoop on where the next secret cabal of the linguists of this country will be: contrary to incorrect rumors that were put about to fool our enemies, it will be at the Oakland Marriott City Center , from January 6th to 9th.

    Extractions: Quick Facts People History Language ... Nature Hawaiian Language is the Hawaiian phrase for the the language of the people of Hawai'i, which shares many similarities in pronunciation and meaning with other Polynesian languages and dialects. The Hawaiian alphabet, devised by Protestant missionaries in the 19th century, uses 12 letters (a, e, h, i, k, l, m, n, o, p, u, and w) plus two diacritical marks. At times, one will see T in place of K; R in place of L; and B in place of P. Examples: kalo = taro and kapu = tabu. In English the diacritical marks are called a "glottal stop" and a "macron." In Hawaiian, they are called 'okina and . They are critical to both pronunciation and meaning. The 'okina is a sound similar to what comes between uh and oh when we say "uh-oh!". There is a hesitation or catch that separates the two sounds so they are not blended together. The 'okina is only used between vowels or in front of a vowel at the beginning of a word, such as the word 'okina itself.
