A Pocket Guide to the Hawaiian Language

Written by Albert J. Schütz. Illustrated by Dietrich Varez

Once expected to be extinct by the end of the 20th century, the Hawaiian language has recently made a remarkable comeback. Beginning in the 1970s, a "renaissance" has allowed visitors to glimpse the richness of a culture and language that was once discouraged. For the first time in years, there is a good chance of seeing authentic hula performances and hearing Hawaiian spoken and sung accurately.

A Pocket Guide to the Hawaiian Language will introduce you to the language and help you appreciate it. Here's what you'll find inside:

  • The Alphabet
  • How to Pronounce Hawaiian Common Words and Phrases
  • O-Things and A-Things: A World View
  • Hawaiian's Past
  • Hawaiian's Future
  • Further Reading
