Tok Pisin:
Papua New Guinea is renowned for having over 700 languages spoken
by its four million people. This figure sounds incredible, but is a
thoroughly researched fact.
Of course the number is steadily decreasing, as education and
transportation break down the barriers that lead to this huge number.
Travel led to the necessity for some kind of common language. The
two colonizing powers in Papua New Guinea spoke German and English, and
those two languages gave rise to a Pidgin language. The granting of
territorial responsibility to Australia after World War 1 ensured it was
English that has predominated in this Pidgin.
Many are offended by what they perceive to be "baby talk", and
believe Pidgin English cannot be validly called a language.
However what has evolved as the Tok Pisin language indeed fulfills
the criteria for a language. Among these are the facts that it can
express all the daily transactions its speakers wish to make without
recourse to another language, and its speakers think in the language.
This is not to say Pidgin speakers do not have other languages.
Most Papua New Guineans still have a mother tongue, learned in their
villages. However with urbanization there is emerging a generation who
are more fluent in Tok Pisin than any other language.
The language has been systematized into a grammar and dictionary.
The most work in this area has been done by Frank Mihalic, a priest who
still writes in the weekly Tok Pisin newspaper "Wantok". "The Jacaranda
Dictionary and Grammar of Melanesian Pisin" is still in print.
There are no Tok Pisin courses that I am aware of available on the
Internet. There are some taped courses and some run by various military
and Aid organizations.
