Hawaiians primarily speak English, as the natives were instructed to learn the language after Hawaii was introduced into the union. The Hawaiian language, Oleo, has regained popularity in recent years, and is still spoken regularly on the "small island".

Oleo doesn't involve any symbols, but the language itself is beautiful. Here's a website with popular Hawaiian words:

Hope this helped.

Actually, the language is simply called Hawaiian. Hawaiian is the most widely spoken native language. Pidgin is also spoken there. Many Japanese speakers live in Hawaii, although Japanese is obviously not a Hawaiian language.

Hawaiian uses the latin alphabet just like English, but there are slight alterations. See the websites:

Some Hawaiians speak Japanese, and some speak Hawaiian.

Please skip the tattoos.
