When I'm speaking pidgin "tok pisin" I find that I can articulate, at all times, about 99% of what I wanna say. The only time I can recall, in my life where I decided it would be easier to speak English with a New Guinean, was when a kid I know was trying to talk to me about Fortnite, and we just didn't have the proper words in pidgin to talk about it, so we used English.

When will standard English catch up with the innovation of using Christmases as the primary unit of annual time?

I find it quit interesting that Jamaican creole and tok pisin both borrowed the word for child from Portuguese.

I am Papua New Guinean and I thank you so much for your effort in making this video giving an accurate linguistic analysis of a language that we use every day. Thanks.

Proud mix race PNG here. Side note- we also took words from Samoa as well! The Tok Pisin works for church is Lotu, which is the same for Samoa. The Tok Pisin word for break/relax is called Malolo, which is the same for png as well. Loved this video!

You should do more creole or pidgen languages. They are really interesting

Paul, yu boi stret!
I learnt Tok Pisin in about 5 months when I was living in PNG. It's a great language! It seems like it has a narrow vocabulary, but there's a lot of idioms to convey more complex meanings. I never really got my head around these... there are few resources for learning Tok Pisin. But the one I remember most was something like 'Em i kaikai olgeta banana pinis' ('He has already eaten all the bananas'), which meant something like 'he has been here a long time'.

I've been speaking pidgin nearly all my life and your break down of one of the languages I speak has blown my mind! I didn't even know some of the words I speak everyday have Portuguese origins! Bikpla tenk yu tumas lo sharim save bilong yu wantaim mipla! šµš¬šµš¬

This has long been noted by linguists, but I still think it's amazing how nearly every creole language around the world has descendants of "saber" and "pequenino" from Portuguese

Tok pisin is hands-down my favourite language. I wish I had an opportunity to practice it.

Watching that news article was bizarre. It was like watching a video of a language you've studied a long time ago and you've half remembered vocabulary and phrases, but you couldn't quite remember it correctly.

Love this. I'm Papua New Guinean and speak Tok Pisin quite often, but this is the first time I have learned the history of my language. Tenk yu tru!

Mate you did a great job on this video. As a former Pidgin speaker from 47 years ago, its very interesting to see how pidgin has evolved and what words are now included as standard format pidgin, whereas previously the language was quite localised in many respects. i.e. Because the Madang area was formerly in German territory, the word moni, meaning money was spoken as Mark i.e. former German money in use in German occupied New Guinea. All the old blokes (tabuna) would draw their "Marks", which pre Kina days was in Australian dollars and cents, out of the bank every payday (every fortnight) in 10 cent coins, and arrange them in piles of 10 coins so they could be counted to check that the money was still there and no one had stolen it. This could mean several hundred dollars in 10 cent coins. Woh be tied if the bank didn't have enough 10 cent coins, it would would mean the money had been stolen. Almost a riot. 10 was the maxium that could be counted and required the asistance of someone trusted to help with the counting. All coins were counted as 1 pela. 2 pela, 3 pela, etc to 10 pela. The pronunciation was pla, and not pela. Once it was determined all the money was still being held by the bank, all the coins were put back in the bank. Old memories :<}

Hey, Paul, Thank you so much! Iāve started learning Tok Pisin when I saw your former LangFocus Tok Pisin vidĆ©o before. It seems that this updated video also looks amazing again. Please make more videos on world languages! I go to an university here, Japan. Iām from Japan, and I speak Japanese. Therefore, Iām always happy to see a person who learns Japanese teaches world languages. Iād like to travel around PNG with my friends! God bless you.

I love how pidgins and creole languages have a way of highlighting cultural creativity. Seeing a root language interpreted and used in all those new ways is really amazing.

We had some guys at work that had spent time in PNG. We all ended up using the "me no savvy boss, me no lookim" phrase as a replacement for "i dont know whats going on , i didn't see what happened"

Tok Pisin is similar to Jamaican Creole, which makes sense as they have a similar history since colonisation.
