AJR - Check In #3 This picture shows a greeting sign outside of a shopping center in Kalihi that is solely in Hawaiian. We don’t see signs like this that are only in Hawaiian; they are usually accompanied by at least a few words in English. The intended audience can be considered to be either tourists or locals. I say this because promoting signs like this may be with misguided intentions, such as attracting attention from tourists rather than promoting more of a local/Hawaiian status in the island Multilingual Hawaiʻi
