Language Discovered

A  L  O  H  A !
I Speak Pidgin by Frank DeLima on Grooveshark

Here in Hawaii,
all the newcomers
and the Hawaiians
developed a unique language
for working class communication
called 
Hawaii Creole English, HCE,


We call it Pidgin.




I will never speak like a native speaker

of Pidgin, but I (mostly) understand

and use Pidgin proudly.

If you read my book

(see the top of this page,

there on the right)

you already know Pidgin.

BUT

NO ONE KNEW

that Hawaii's Deaf 

also developed their own

unique and practical 

Hawaii Sign Language

HSL !

Older members of Hawaii's

Deaf community

recently brought this language

to the attention of the Linguistics

Department at University Of Hawaii

who consider this a true, unique language

that will now be documented

before it disappears.

This is the biggest discovery

in the linguistics community in

Some Time!

Headlines include:

""Nearly lost language discovered in Hawai'i "

and to hear Hawaiian Pidgin

carried by people
like you and me;

Unique
except in our 
habit
of blogging.

Asia, England
Hawaii, Australia,
New York City,
KL, Louisiana,
and the land
of scholars.

Nerve endings
of an increasingly
self - aware
globe.

A Billion citizen

reporters,
diarists,
mystics, complainers,
dear friends.

Thanks Very Much
for stopping here
to see my offerings.

Now off to see
