Pidgin Language

Pidgin, the unmistakable, enchanting language of locals has been recognized as an official language. … “It’s a language separate from English, distinct from English. The problem is it shares a vocabulary with English,” said author and the University of Hawaii at Manoa Professor Kent Sakoda.

It was born on Hawaii’s plantation fields. It’s now been recognized by the U.S. Census.
