The language widely spoken in Hawaii alongside English is Hawaiian.

Hawaiian is an indigenous language that holds cultural significance in Hawaii, alongside English, which is the primary language. Although Hawaiian is not commonly spoken in everyday conversation, it is an integral part of the state's heritage, used in cultural ceremonies, traditional songs, and place names. Efforts to revive the Hawaiian language have grown, with schools teaching it and local communities promoting its use to preserve the island's cultural identity. Hawaiian Pidgin (or Hawaii Creole English) is also widely spoken, reflecting the diverse linguistic influences in Hawaii’s history.
