    PNG Pidgin is not purely broken English, some words are derived from the German language. That's why Dorcas wasn't able to pick up some of the words.

    Tok Pisin is most definitely not just ‘broken English’. It is a creole language which has become a first language for many, rather than simply a lingua franca.

    In other countries they call their Pidgins "English Pidgin" eg: Hawaiian English Pidgin, Nigerian English Pidgin or Jamaican English Pidgin, where as in Papua New Guinea their Pidgin is just call Papua New Guinea Pidgin. Pidgin is basically broken English meaning English words not being placed grammatically correct but in PNG their pidgin is not actually just comprised of English words, but also consists of German words and words from the language of the locals in ENB where the explorers settled. That's why its way more complex cuz its not actual pidgin, it's a mixture of German, Englsih and ENB tok ples. That's why Tok Pisin spoken in ENB is the real pure Tok Pisin

      And I disagree. There is no pure form of tokpisin. There shouldn't be a pure form of tokpisin. The purpose of tokpisin was to make communication easy and it evolving with time enables it to carry out its initial purpose. Hence the argument on wether or not Tokpisin should be recognized has an official language.

    • @LW1Tok
      @LW1Tok 2 роки тому +1

      Your right. It has Tolai influences. Example; tree in tokpisin is "diwai" which comes from Kuanua (Tolai) "Dawai" meaning tree. "Pekpek" comes from "peke" which means "shit".

    Tok Pisin is very ambiguous, one word or sentence can mean so many different things. For example: if you say "Em ya" which means "look here" or "look at me" it can also mean
    "it's here"
    "You can have this"
    "Look at this"
    "That's right"
    .......etc.....

    Some of the words or names of things in the pigin language like Buai, daka, kambang(line) and a few others were taken from the Tolai kuanua language however most of the words have been replaced with English words tbrough the years. The original tokpisin is still spoken by some of the Elderly people in Rabaul. History says Tokpisin was established in the 18th century when Black Birders and early traders came to Rabaul from countries like Australia and captured natives from Rabaul & other pacific nations like Vanuatu, Solomon Islands to work as slaves in sugarcane Plantations in Queensland. They had a problem with communicating so they had come up with the Pigdin English to help them communicate. Thats why we have similar pidgin with our neighboring countries.

Hence the argument on wether or not Tokpisin should be recognized as an official language of PNG (has it been a recognized). It's a good comparison but has you would have realized by now that every country that uses PIDGIN as a common language of communication will differ greatly based on alot of factors esp depending on who colonized them, etc.

At that time when I was told that by my lecturer Fr Frank Mihalic SVD, who is the father of PNG Tok Pisin and an expert who has written the PNG Tok Pisin Dictionary. Well that has changed since the 1990s, and now we have new additions that has increased the number of words. By the way do you know what limlimbur means? Eheheheheheh.

But am not getting the right responses. The Papua New Guinea University of Technology, suggested I apply for a Queen Elizabeth scholar. I have the resources and don't want to follow that route, because competition might be much.

      When I was growing up we don't just ask "how/hau". That word is commonly used by kids today And those that grew up in the city like pom.

    PNG Pidgin has a mixture of german, dutch.... And alot of words comes from English but changed to adapt to the accents of the different regions.
    'Les' is more likely a form of the numerical word, 'less'. To describe the drop in affection.... Just my thoughts.

      And the other root of les could easily be lazy because you call someone a les man or les meri.
