About Hawaii
Hawaii (Hawaiian/Hawaiian English: Hawaii, with the ?okina; also,
historically, the Sandwich Islands) is the archipelago of the Hawaiian
Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Admitted on August 21, 1959, Hawaii
constitutes the 50th state of the United States and is situated
2500 miles from the mainland. It is the southernmost part of that
country. As of the 2000 U.S. Census it had a population of 1,211,537
people. Honolulu is the largest city and the state capital.
Hawaiis the most recently admitted state of the United States.
In addition to possessing the southernmost point in the United States,
it is the only state that lies completely in the tropics. As one
of two states outside the contiguous United States (the other being
Alaska), it is the only state without territory on the mainland
of any continent and it is the only state that continues to grow
due to active lava flows, most notably from Kilauea. Ethnically,
Hawaii is the only state that has a majority group that is non-white
(and one of only four in which non-Hispanic whites do not form a
majority) and has the largest percentage of Asian Americans. For
various reasons, Hawaii is considered the endangered species capital
of the United States.
Climate
The Climate of Hawaii is typical of tropical areas. It is famous
for being warm throughout the whole year; during the summer, the
temperature may reach to around 90 degrees Farenheit. Though people
who live in Hawaii often complain about the heat, tourists generally
enjoy the warm weather, as many of them come from locations of colder
climates. Thus, Hawaii has become a popular tourist destination
in the wintertime, when the Hawaiian weather would be above 70 degrees
Farenheit. Hawaii is also popular with tourists in the summer because
it does not suffer from the same heat waves that occur in the continental
North America -- Hawaii has tradewinds which keep excess heat away.
The main portions of Oahu can be divided into Windward and Leeward
sections, divided by a mountain range. The Windward side enjoys
more rain. However the Leeward side's drier climate has benefitted
toward the plantation industries.
Languages
The state of Hawaii has two official languages as prescribed by
the Constitution of Hawaii adopted at the 1978 constitutional convention:
Hawaiian and English. Article XV, Section 4 requires the use of
Hawaiian in official state business such as public acts, documents,
laws and transactions. Standard Hawaiian English, a subset of American
English, is also commonly used for other formal business. Hawaiian
is legally acceptable in all legal documents, from depositions to
legislative bills. The third and fourth most spoken languages are
Tagalog and Japanese, respectively.
Pidgin
Over the course of Hawaiian history, a third language was developed
that is in common use throughout the state today. Originally considered
a mere dialect of Hawaiian English, cultural anthropologists have
recently reached consensus that Hawaiian Pidgin is a distinct language
on its own. Hawaiian Pidgin finds its origins in the sugarcane and
pineapple plantations as laborers from different cultures were forced
to find their own ways of communicating and understanding each other.
Laborer emigrants from different countries — China, Japan,
Korea, Philippines, Portugal — began composing their own words
and phrases based on their own language traditions, which merged
with Hawaiian and Hawaiian English.
