[Mihalic] Kriol

[Kurt Laughlin]

Why isn't Kriol considered a Pacific or Bislamic pidgin? It's hard to
imagine how a language could have sentences like "Det nes bin stap antap
langa tri." (The nest is at the top of the tree.) and "Gardiya bin pikimap
mipala en teik mipala langa mishin." (White people picked us up and took us
to the mission.) without bearing a close relationship with Tok Pisin and the
rest.
