Hawaiian Language: Past, Present, Future presents aspects of Hawaiian and its history that are rarely treated in language classes.
The major characters in this book make up a diverse cast: Dutch merchants, Captain Cook's naturalist and philologist William Anderson, 'Ōpūkaha'ia (the inspiration for the Hawaiian Mission), the American lexicographer Noah Webster, philologists in New England, missionary-linguists and their Hawaiian consultants, and many minor players.
