Hawaiian...
"The eight volcanic islands of Hawaii have constituted, since
1959, the 50th state of the United States.   Settled, according to
tradition, during the 10th century by Polynesian voyagers from
Samoa, the islands were discovered in 1778 by Captain Cook.
His name for them, the Sandwich Islands, eventually fell out of
use.   Hawaii’s rapidly increasing population of 650,000 is one of
the richest racial mixtures in the world.   Inhabitants of Polynesian
descent now represent only about a fifth of the population.
The Hawaiian language is spoken by less than 50,000 inhabitants,
who are almost all bilingual with English.   Characteristic of the
Polynesian tongues, the Hawaiian alphabet contains only 12
letters: A E I O U W H K L M N P.   A Hawaiian Pidgin
(Polynesian English) has developed, and is particularly used on
the outer islands from Oahu, seat of the capital."
