	Hawaiian Pidgin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hawai‘i Pidgin English, Hawai‘i Creole English, HCE, or simply Pidgin, is a creole language based in part on English widely used by residents of Hawai‘i ("Hawaiian Pidgin English" is considered an inaccurate label).
		Although English and Hawaiian are the co-official languages of the State of Hawai‘i, Pidgin is used by many locals in everyday conversation and is often used in advertising toward Hawaii residents.
		While some linguists agree that Hawaii Pidgin is a full-fledged language with its own grammar, pronunciation, intonation, and domains of use, it is considered by some to be "substandard," or as a "corrupted" form of English, or even as broken English.
