The Hawaiian Language by Henry P. Judd is an early and influential work on the structure, grammar, and usage of the Hawaiian language, offering readers a foundational understanding of one of the key Polynesian tongues. Originally published in 1939, the book provides concise explanations of Hawaiian phonetics, syntax, and vocabulary, alongside cultural context that enhances its value for both linguistic study and historical interest. Judd’s work remains significant for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of indigenous languages, as well as anyone interested in Hawaii’s rich linguistic heritage and pre-statehood literature.
