Hawaiʻi Pidgin English, Hawaiʻi Creole English, HCE, or simply Pidgin, is a creole language based in part on English used by most "local" residents of Hawaiʻi.[citation needed] Although English and Hawaiian are the co-official languages of the State of Hawaiʻi[1], Pidgin is used by many Hawaiʻi residents in everyday conversation and is often used in advertising toward Hawaiʻi residents. The new ISO/DIS 639-3 language code for Hawaiʻi Pidgin (Hawaiʻi Creole English) is hwc. [2]
