English and Hawaiian are the official languages. 

About 85 percent of all place names in Hawaii are in Hawaiian. 

Pidgin, a simplified form of English, is still used in the islands. It was developed by Hawaii's many immigrant groups to communicate with one another. Modern pidgin has been defined as local slang and has come under attack by some educators who believe it is keeping children from speaking proper English. Others defend pidgin as a cultural treasure unique to Hawaii. Pidgin is not easy to pick up. It has a cadence of its own, double meanings, and borrowed words from many languages.

Oahu offers a great deal of shopping, from giant malls to small kitsch souvenir shops. Many tourists take home Hawaiian shirts, even surf-boards made locally. Flower leis are also very popular.

Oahu has nearly 600 surfing sites, including the famous Banzai Pipeline and North Shore (about a half-hour's drive north of Honolulu)

 During the winter, waves reach six to nine meters (20 to 30 feet) in height, with some breaks as high as 12 meters (40 feet). Summer is the best time to surf on the south shore. Outrigger canoe racing is one of the fastest growing sports in the islands. In January 2000, public school authorities were considering making it an official sport.

Oahu has more than 60 beach parks, including the large Ala Moana, just west of Waikiki.

Early Hawaiians worshipped many ancestral gods and spirits like Pele, goddess of the volcano, Ku, the god of war, and Lono, the god of fertility. 

Today, many Hawaiians hold on to their beliefs. Others have accepted other religions. The Catholic Church, with some 200,000 members, is the largest congregation in the state. Buddhists are second, with more than 85,000 members. There are Jewish, Hindu, and Muslim houses of worship as well.
