It's such a long time since we had a quiz question, so I hope you'll forgive my slipping these in. Inspired by a most wonderful holiday in (my) winter!
1. As longtime quiz thread visitors may recall, the country with the highest total number of languages is Papua New Guinea. But what country has the highest number of languages per capita? (1 point) 2. What are Tok Pisin and Bislama? (1 point) - Pidgin languages. Stitchawl, 1 point 3. What country is each associated with? (2 points) 4. What historical event is considered one of the main causes in their origin? (1 point) Last edited by Shayne Parkinson; 12-17-2013 at 07:46 PM. |

I know that Bislama is a Pidgeon language for a South Pacific island, but I can't remember which one... We encountered it when diving somewhere down below the equator but I can't remember where...

1. Might that also be PNG? Their population isn't huge.
4. I would guess colonisation by English speaking "bosses". (We only did it for their own good of course.) And thanks for reviving the thread, Shayne! |

1. No, not PNG. 4. You're on the right lines, but not quite there. |
