Subject: LL-L Language varieties

Hi guys, I'm back home.
Thanks for the comments regarding e-mailing.



I just would like to add a few things as regarding language use and
varieties.



1 - In the Waikiki tourist area of Honolulu *Japanese* is predominant.

In the Sheraton Waikiki most indications and shops are bilingual
English-Japanese,

some local shops are Japanese only.



2 - I could very hardly find a sound recording in local *Pidgin*;

It is considered somehow locally as a non-language.



Some books are just on the level of telling of jokes (es e.g. Peppo's "To Da
Max series", Tonouchi's "Da Kine Dictionary" etc.).



In the Barnes & Noble they said there exists a audio recording of the bible
in Pidgin,

but I couldn'd find it anywhere.

The printed form was not so difficult to find:

Da Jesus Book, Hawaii Pidgin New Testament, 2000, 6th printing 2006, Wycliff
Bible Translations, Orlando, vii + 744 pp, ISBN 0-938978-21-7, USD 14.95

A sample:

The only recording I found was a cabaret-type CD by Rap Reiplinger,: "Poi
Dog with Crabs", The Mountain Apple Cy, Honolulu, bar code 7-61268-2020-2

Here is Track 02 as a sample:

3 - as to *Hawaiian* here is a recording with text:

http://www.euro-support.be/temp/wight56.jpg

http://www.euro-support.be/temp/wight58.jpg

http://www.euro-support.be/temp/molokai.wma

It comes from

Kahikahealani Wight, Learn Hawaiian at Home, Bess Press, Honolulu, 147 pp +
2 audio CDs, 1992, 2005, ISBN 1-57306-245-6, USD 24.95

The recording is a cut of the last 4 min of the 15 min track 5 of the first
CD (going with chapter 4).



Copyrights may apply, so I leave the urls active for a few days only,

Regards,



Roger

Thanks a lot, Roger. Good to have you back home.

The Young Kanakas clip is hilarious. (

The Kahuna is still smiling because of the textbook you mentioned.

Regards,
