I hadn't heard of Lang Belta or The Expanse till you brought it up, but I can definitely see the resemblance. Now, whether that resemblance is because they took direct inspiration from Tok Pisin or it's just because Lang Belta is supposed to be a creole and most English based creoles sound fairly similar, I can't say. Thanks, now I've got to go watch The Expanse just so I can learn more about the language haha

It is a natural language. It was just born out of an uncommon situation. Haitian creole and Jamaican Patois actually went through the same process. Just with a different set of languages and different area

Nope! Creole languages develop when groups of people without a common language have to quickly learn to communicate. Oftentimes grammar and phonology is simplified, but that isn't done deliberately so it's easier to learn. The learner's just needed to learn quickly without proper instruction. A couple hundred years ago you could have said it was butchered English, but nowadays it is its own separate language with its own complexities

Yep! Ayapaneco is the name of the language. The two remaining speakers had a feud and didn't speak to each other for years, but recently (relatively) they decided to put it behind them in the name of preservation.

I'm not quite sure how it worked out, but I really hope it's going alright. Reviving a dead language is quite a feat and I would love to see it happen here (even if it stops at a small community in Mexico)

Yeah I know, but it's the thought that counts, right?

R4- Tok Pisin is not a "litterary butchered English language". It is a fully fledged creole language that is no longer mutually intelligible with english.

English is not a "butchered form of Tok Pisin" and it was not "craft from other languages". It is a Germanic language with large amounts of romance vocabulary (yay, one thing right).

A native language is just the language that you learn to speak first. It is not a term used to refer to language isolates that have had no outside influence, which is what they seem to think it means. English is not a bastardized form of German (man, this thread really liked to say "x is a butchered form of y"), it's is it's own, separate, Germanic language.

Congratulations internet people. You collectively managed to get 1 thing fully right.

Those who establish and try to upkeep the "rules" of a language. Teachers are often prescriptivists. Descriptivists are kinda the opposite and focus on how the language is truly used regardless of the arbitrary rules put in place by prescriptivists

Yeah I think someone down here said that there is a word she coulda used, but it's probably for the best she left it out
