Exercise 5: Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, or C to each of the questions.
Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea is the eastern part of the island of New Guinea and has a population of nine million people. The capital is Port Moresby. The country became independent from Australia in 1975. There are about 800 languages in Papua New Guinea - that's more languages than in any other country in the world!
Papua New Guinea is a land of mountains and rainforests. Most communities are isolated and have little contact with each other or with the outside world. It's for this reason that so many different languages have developed.
The official languages of Papua New Guinea are Tok Pisin, English and Hiri Motu. Although English is an official language, it is only spoken as a first language by a small percentage of the population.
Tok Pisin, an English-based creole, is spoken by most people. The word 'tok' comes from the English word 'talk' and means word or speech, and 'pisin' means pidgin. A pidgin language is one that has a mixture of two other languages; a creole is a pidgin language that has become the first language of a community.
Tok Pisin started as a pidgin language and became a creole language. Although the majority of Tok Pisin vocabulary comes from English, it also includes words from German, Portuguese, Latin and a number of other languages, such as Tolai and Malay. Tok Pisin is sometimes used in the first three years of primary school in Papua New Guinea, while English is used in secondary education.
