As the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander languages in use dwindles there's one Indigenous language that's growing Yumplatok, Stefan Armbruster reports from the Torres Strait.
Actually quite abit different. For example, niupela or nupla in PNG means new not our. PNG tok pisin is a Creole based on a combination of languages including English, German, Malay and traditional PNG language.
I think this documentary is missing the plantation side of the language. The language spread throughout the region because of indentured labour in north queensland plantations.
It's like Tok Pisin. Can understand every word spoken 🇵🇬
Bring back mother tongue language learning! Whatever it takes! 🙏
same language as PNG, solomon islands and Vanuatu
