Hawaiian is ok as a niche language. It does not impress me though.

<quoted text>I think the Hawaiians would show written documents about the Kingdom, and then ask the Marquesans to produce the same.
Of course if the Marquesans made their case, then all the haoles, chin-ks, flips, ja-ps, pochos, micros, soles, popolos, borinques, and yob-os would have to leave too.
I think the Marquesans would then take their case to the World Court. And win.

But since the Marquesas Islands are a French overseas collectivities, then perhaps we'd be taken over by France too. Or, maybe the Marquesans - all 8,632 of them - would move here to establish an independent nation.

They'd probably let all of the races stay except maybe the Hawaiians due to some possible hard feelings. They'd especially let the Samoans and Tongans stay, since they descended from those areas themselves.

Then again, the Tahitians also are thought to have descended from the Marquesans... and then came here to become the Hawaiians, who killed off the original Marquesan settlers.

So really - Marquesans should hold claim to much of Polynesia.

But wait! The Marquesans originally came from Samoa and Tonga. So perhaps they might have to abdicate to the Samoans and Tongans.

Ironic, isn't it? Hawaiians and Samoans don't always get along too well. But Hawaiians in some way are actually descendants of the original Samoan people.

This should first of all be settled at Kuhio Park Terrace or Mayor Wrights. The French would be welcomed here. Marquesan advocacy would start with united realtors.

You're so worried about the English language being mispronounced. then you live in the wrong place. You go back to where you came from and you tell your relatives that go on the Springer Show and the Maury Show to learn to speak English correctly first.
busy yourself with your own kind's issues. Stop being so niele and so mahaoi. Aohe hookahi kanaka i mahalo i kou 'ano.

Nothing wrong with this language. I prefer more complex languages like Russian and German though.

Mokes need Euro languages or Asian languages before they can think complex thoughts. Too many are driven by their own desire

Old joke: "Pardon me sir, I was wondering how you pronounce the name of this state. Is it Hawaii or is it Havaii?" "It's pronounced Havaii." "Thank you." "You're velcome."

pidgin is just too imprecise to be used for sophisticated science, literature or comminications.

These persuits were attributed to cultures rooted in high altitude cold climated areas. Pidgin was not rooted in high altitude and in cold climates. Pidgin was an experiment of amicable peoples brought together in a focused pursuit.

All of the realtors in Hawaii could get together in advocacy of the mistreated Marquesans as long as they can get real property as a "thank you".
