Hawaiian Language People who live in Hawaii speak English but also Hawaiian Pidgin. Pidgin originated from other cultures, words, sounds, and other languages. Pidgin is also known as Creole English which is a dialect based on English.This language originated on a sugar plantation where people from different cultures arrived and established Pidgin. This language has been influenced by other languages but is now used as a primary language in Hawaii. This Hawaii language or dialect has an alphabet of 13 letters; 5 vowels amd 6 constants.
