Papua New Guinea Language Toktok
Description
What's it
like to live in a country with more than 830 different languages? Where not
many people speak only one language and most of us use two or three or four
languages every day? Where most of us use Pidgin English to talk to each other
in?
The country
is Papua New Guinea.
I'm Professor
Craig Volker and I'm lucky enough to live in Papua New Guinea. Together on this podcast, every couple weeks we'll spend five or ten minutes looking at language here ⏤ local languages, our pidgin languages, and how we use (or don’t use) English. And once in a while we'll take a break and look at language elsewhere, and see what Papua New Guinea can learn about language issues beyond our
borders.
So Lukaut--Papua New Guinea Language Toktok is coming!
