Actually pidgins are linguistically quite interesting - they cast light on the evolution of modern languages. Eventually they turn into creoles.
From Jared Diamond's The Rise And Fall Of The Third Chimpanzee. A Neo-Melanisian advert. Kam insait long stua belong mipela - stua bilong salim olgeta samting - mipela i-ken helpim yu long kisim wanem samting yu laikim bikpela na liklik long gutpela prais. I-gat gutpela kain kago long baiim na i-gat stap long helpim yu na lukautim yu long taim yu kam insait long dispela stua. Read it out to yourself - concentrate on the sounds, ignore the spelling. Almost all the words are derived from English. Liklik means little and is from Tolai. First reasonable translation gets a big, wet, sloppy kiss from me (with lots of tongue). |
