@bunungamdavid I live in Miami, Florida, USA where we have a pretty decent population of haitians who speak haitian creole, so I began to study the language a bit, until I realized that the word "creole" was actually a category of languages, and that's where I ran into Tok Pisin and fell in love with it.
