'''Hawaiian''' (''{{lang|haw|{{okina}}Ōlelo Hawai{{okina}}i}}'', {{IPA-haw|ʔoːˈlɛlo həˈvɐjʔi|pron}})<ref>{{Hawaiian Dictionaries|{{Okina}}ōlelo|id=D15294}}</ref> is a [[Polynesian language]] and critically endangered language of the [[Austronesian language family]] that takes its name from [[Hawaii (island)|Hawai{{okina}}i]], the largest island in the tropical North Pacific [[archipelago]] where it developed. Hawaiian
In 1896, the [[Republic of Hawaii]] established English as the official language in schools.<ref name="Gutierrez 2022">{{cite web |last=Gutierrez |first=Ben |title=Lawmakers adopt resolution apologizing for ban on Hawaiian language in schools |website=www.hawaiinewsnow.com |date=2022-04-28 |url=https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2022/04/28/lawmakers-adopt-resolution-apologizing-ban-hawaiian-language-schools/ |access-date=2023-01-21}}</ref> The number of [[first language|native speakers]] of Hawaiian gradually decreased during the period from the 1830s to the 1950s. English essentially displaced Hawaiian on six of seven inhabited islands. In 2001, native speakers of Hawaiian amounted to less than 0.1% of the statewide population. Linguists were unsure if Hawaiian and other [[endangered language]]s would survive.<ref>see e.g. {{Harvcol|Hinton|Hale|2001}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=The 1897 Petition Against the Annexation of Hawaii |date=15 August 2016 |url=https://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/hawaii-petition/ |publisher=[[National Archives and Records Administration]] }}</ref>{{Failed verification|date=January 2020|reason=Source does not mention linguists or Hawaiian language}}
