By reading this article, we may have access to the following information:
- The annexation of Hawaii to the USA was something very violent and unpleasant for the Hawaiian culture and language.
- Hawaiians were forced to abandon many cultural customs to adopt American customs.
- In addition, they were prohibited from speaking the Hawaiian language and were required to speak only English.
- The Hawaiians knew that it would be very bad to allow their language to be lost as the generations passed, so they created strategies to ensure that the language would continue to be spoken in the country.
- Among these strategies, they maintained the study of the Hawaiian language in schools as a second language.
- They also documented people as native speakers, as a kind of title or profession.
- they maintained the use of the native language on a small island, which was less impacted by the annexation, and managed to maintain the language and customs.
Although the Hawaiian language that is spoken in Hawaii, today, is slightly different from the native language, the Hawaiian people have managed to keep their language alive and active within their population.
