A lot of people in Hawai'i talk "pidgin", or "pidgin English", and a few years ago I had heard someone call it "Hawaiian creole". I had never looked at it that way, and it was not only pertaining to it being an exclusive language (and I guess in a way, anyone who understands a language makes it exclusive to them), but also referring to the mixture of people who speak it.

When I read this thread, I wasn't sure what to write but decided to give it a shot. Glad I did.
