The Origins of Tokpisim
The language Tokpisim was born on plantations in Micronesia and Melanesia. It's now one of the main languages of Popwain and Guinea, where it has official status. There were no children there; all these people didn't speak the same language. And so kind of built this language from scratch that started off, you know, haphazardly like pigeons do.
