Language quiz 6 October 2013 By Simon Here’s a recording in a mystery language. Can you identify the language, and do you know where it’s spoken?
It took me a while to pinpoint the exact Pidgin, but phrases like tufala and blong hem led me to Bislama (spoken in Vanuatu).
I’d go for Pijin, spoken on the Solomon Islands, which is said to be same as Bislama, spoken on Vanuatu, but without French loanwords.
The answer is Bislama an English-based creole language spoken in Vanuatu. The recording comes from the GRN.
Pidgin English the story of Jacob but which form of Pidgin I have no idea except that it is African.
