==== Hawaiian ==== {{Main|Hawaiian language}} On six of the seven inhabited islands of [[Hawaii]], Hawaiian was displaced by English and is no longer used as the daily language of communication. The one exception is [[Niihau|Niʻihau]], where [[Hawaiian language|Hawaiian]] has never been displaced, has never been endangered, and is still used almost exclusively. Efforts to revive the language have increased in recent decades. Hawaiian [[language immersion]] schools are now open to children whose families want to retain (or introduce) Hawaiian language into the next generation. The local [[National Public Radio]] station features a short segment titled "Hawaiian word of the day". Additionally, the Sunday editions of the ''[[Honolulu Star-Bulletin]]'' and its successor, the ''[[Honolulu Star-Advertiser]]'', feature a brief article called ''Kauakūkalahale'', written entirely in Hawaiian by a student.<ref>Wilson, W.
