Pidgin is not a language exclusive to the people of Hawaii as a matter of fact pidgin is widely spoken in English speaking West African countries with the Pidgin of each country, region,state and even tribe being slightly different from the other, in Nigeria you can find the Naijá or the Nigerian pidgin the pidgin spoken in each part of Nigeria is influenced by the tribes that live there.

Pidgin
Pidgin is not a corruption of English, nor is it slang—linguists (scientists who study language) consider it a completely separate language from Standard English. It uses some English words, though differently and pronounced differently (which is why it’s hard to understand). It also uses words from Hawaiian, Japanese, and other languages
It has its own grammar, rhythm etc. Some important words and grammar are:
Stay—in Hawaiian Pidgin, “stay” means “to be” like in Portuguese “estar” (location now, temporary state now)
Where you stay? (Where do you live right now?)
Da fishing stay GOOD! (Fishing is GOOD right now!)
Where da keys stay? (Where are the keys?)
Pau /pow/ (Pau means all done or finished.) This word is used all the time:
Pau eat (done eating, finished eating—cleaned your plate)
Pau work (finished work—done working)
Slippah (slipper) Slippah means flip-flop or thong sandal—rubber sandals. The universal footwear, slippahs are worn constantly by everyone—at some courtroom doors there are signs that worn “No Slippahs”
Try (please, attempt to)
Try look (please look at that, Look at that, attempt to look at..
Try come (please come)
Try eat (please eat this)
Like (prefer, if it be alright, ok)
You like go fish? (would you like to go fishing with me?)
No like (do not prefer, would rather not, would not like to, not ok)
Nah, I no like (no thanks, I’d rather not)
Can (I am able, I can do it)
No Can (I am not able, I can’t do it)
No have/Have (I don’t have any, I have some)
Not! (that’s not true, said about what one has just said or what someone else has just said, said in a joking tone usually, but usually meant)

Pidgin
Pidgin is a creole language spoken by many locals in Hawaii.
Some people call it broken English, and to that I say: go jump off a bridge.
You’ll find Pidgin speakers of all ethnicities. However, from my experience, Native Hawaiians and Filipinos have the heaviest accents.

pidgin
The language spoken in Hawaii. There are more words in the Pidgin English language than proper English, because pidgin is derived from the combination of many other languages, now revolving around the base of english, there's hawaiian, filipino, japanese, and other languages added around that.
from what if first started off from, it transformed into something more grammatical, and with an accent of its own. Haoles have a hard time understanding, not just because we use words from another language, and because of the accent, but also because our sentencing is set up differently. the order in which we say sentences isn't english grammer format, it's more of a japanese, hawaiian, filipino format, haha.
spoken by locals of hawaii of any racial background, hawaiian, filipino, japanese, haole, etc; also spoken with many different degrees of pidginism, depending on what area of hawaii one may be in.
so, if get stupid haoles who think locals to hawaii is stupid cause we no speak proper english, then you're the ignorant fools, cause our pidgin language is more complex than your "proper english."
