[Mihalic] distribution of Tok Pisin by Province

Dear Stuart,
I took down some provincial data from Morobe from the 2000
census. I have the following:
Literate in:
English 41.1%
Tok Pisin 58.2
Motu 1.6
Tok Ples 44.5
These are then broken down by gender. Then another table
breaks it down by urban (w/gender distinctions) and Rural
(w/gender distinctions).
I assume each province has something similar.
Best wishes,
Courtney Handman
