              Re: A Pidgin Thread

              The news article says: "Scholars stress Pidgin is definitely not just slang." That's true, at least for the Pidgin now spoken here in Hawaii. However, whether the contemporary Pidgin of Hawaii is a language separate from English, rather than being a dialect of English, is another matter entirely. I doubt that many other scholars would agree with Kent Sakoda about that. It seems harmless enough for the Census to count it as a separate language, though.

                  Wikipedia has a good definition of Hawaiian Pidgin.

                  Dey say:

                  "Despite its name, Hawaiian Pidgin is not a pidgin, but rather a full-fledged, nativized, and demographically stable[5] natural language. It did, however, evolve from various real pidgins spoken between ethnic groups in Hawaii."

                  an:

                  "Hawaiian Pidgin, recognized in November of 2015 by the US census bureau as an official language, is used by many Hawaii residents in everyday casual conversation and is often used in advertising targeted toward locals in Hawaii."

                  Dey also sez plenty moah:
