Is pigeon considered a Hawaiin dialect?

[descrambler]

Is pigeon considered a Hawaiin dialect? Or is it considered slang type junk?
Is it respected or frowned upon? It seems like a lot of Hawaiins use this dialect, is it comparable to possibly ebonics in the states?

I assume you mean pidgin, not pigeon, which is a bird, and fom a linguistics perspective, most pidgins are not viewed as languages or dialects, they're ad-hoc media of communication combining any or all of the languages of the relelvant parties, but if pidgin in hawaii has taken on it's own meaning, I don't know

Hawaiian Pidgin isn't based on Hawaiian. It's based on English.

But the name "pidgin" often persists even when the variety in question has ceased to be ad-hoc. Hawai'ian Pidgin English is considered a creole because it has L1 speakers and for that reason is often referred to in linguistic circles as "Hawai'ian Creole English". But the Hawai'ians themselves just call it "Pidgin".

Linguoboy's got it. Pidgin is definitely a language (although pigeon is a bird ) although it's not based on Hawai‘ian. It has a lot of Hawai‘ian and Japanese words in it though.
