This post might interest those of you wondering whether you can list Hawaii Creole English as a second language on your college application (or, as in this case, once you arrive at college). The comments below the post are interesting as well.
This is the official linguistic code for Hawaii Creole English, which is documented by an international linguistic mapping system as a "living" and "individual" language, separate from English but sharing a lot with English. Research shows that people who speak one but not the other can hardly understand one another. Hawaii Creole is not considered by linguists to be a subset or dialect of English.
