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.

[@justsebastian]

Some words in German, France, Portugese, Spanish etc are found in PNG pidgin.

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.

Pidgin language is very unique, I live in Boven Digoel Regency, West Papua Province, Indonesia Boven Digoel is a district bordering the country of Papua New Guinea, so we also speak Pidgin thank you for sharing greetings information from Boven Digoel West Papua (border Indonesia PNG)🙏😔

[@jamesoken8543]

I've always wondered about how people in other countries speak their pidgin compared to us in PNG and now I get to know what it's like when you twos came up with the video. Thank you tumas or too much👍

[@raiylynmitchell5892]

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

[@raiylynmitchell5892]

my bad it might be new ireland not ENB

[@alphagecko-positiveenterta3926]

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]

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".

[@raiylynmitchell5892]

@@alphagecko-positiveenterta3926 the tolie people are the ones who started the pidgin we are speaking so yes there is such thing as pure tok pisin and that is the ones the tolie locals speak, since they invented the pidgin most of us speak. most of non english words are from the tolie people

[@lomesrisiepa5949]

Yes think the word guria comes from tolai, correct me if I am wrong.

As PNGean it's very interesting to listen to Nigerian pidgin. Our Nigerian friend had a very tough time deciphering the PNG version! An entertaining vlog this

[@joetogu9846]

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.

[@juliankasuk47]

Current tokpisin in PNG is more simplified to short forms unlike in the past. You will find the old tokpisin mostly written in tokpisin Bible or even in some tokpisin written books.

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.....

This is so cute! Tho the English messed us all up we can find common ground in the Creoles left behind You should check out Sierra Leone creole, Krio, they use a spelling system more like Tok Pisin but with a grammar more like Nigerian Pidgin! And if you spelled Nigerian Pidgin with a similar phonetic system it might seem more similar I think :)

[@josephoaemagejnr5813]

I can relate to Patience Pip. You are correct, tok pisin was derived from German. It's has evolved so much that there are more English additions to it.

Hi Steven, I love your work, more grease to your elbow. I have come to love Papua New Guinea and have been surfing the internet for schools to study for a master's or a post-graduate diploma. 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. Please can you kindly do a video on how to gain admission into any of Papua New Guinea Universities for international students? We would greatly appreciate it. Thanks and waiting eagerly for your response.

Great post here! Steve do you know that around 1990 and before that there were only about 300 words in the PNG Tok Pisin? 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. Good post here and I enjoyed watching you twos so I subscribed to your channel.

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.

[@jeffreylemb9548]

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

[@deltorolive8926]

I think tokpisin has some german and maybe dutch influence perhaps even other western languages. The spelling of “haus” for example is like the germans spelling of house.

[@stevenbanamu]

That explains brother

[@LW1Tok]

Also has Kuanua (Tolai) influences. Diwai means tree in tokpisin. Well guess where that came from? In Kuanua Dawai = Tree. So yeah.
