hiri motu การใช้

• The most widely spoken indigenous language is Hiri Motu.
• Most notable among these are Tok Pisin and Hiri Motu in Papua New Guinea.
• The only area where Tok Pisin is not prevalent is the southern region of Hiri Motu.
• Although it is strictly neither a pidgin nor a grammatical differences mean that Hiri Motu speakers cannot understand Motu.
• Most notable among these are Tok Pisin, Hiri Motu, Solomon Islands Pijin, Bislama, and Papuan Malay.
• A simplified form of the Motu language ( nowadays called Hiri Motu ) was used for communication between the traders.
• The literacy rate in Suki is 5-15 %, English is the language of instruction in schools and Hiri Motu is also spoken.
• It was eventually replaced by Hiri Motu, a Melanesian-based pidgin, and was not ancestral to modern English-based Tok Pisin.
• Similarly, Motu speakers who do not also learn Hiri Motu have similar difficulties, though the languages are lexically very similar, and retain a common, albeit simplified, Austronesian syntactical basis.
• A simplified form of Motu developed as a trade language in the Papuan region, in the southeast of the main island of New Guinea, originally known as Police Motu, and today known as Hiri Motu.
• Since the early 1970s, if not earlier, the use of Hiri Motu as a day-to-day lingua franca in its old " range " has been gradually declining in favour of English and Tok Pisin.
• Whereas Tok Pisin is the main lingua franca in all Papua New Guinean towns, in part of the southern mainland coastal area centred on Central Province, Hiri Motu is a stronger lingua franca ( but not in Port Moresby ).
• Reflecting this situation, younger speakers of the " parent language " ( Motu proper ) tend to be unfamiliar with Hiri Motu, and few of them understand or speak it well, which was certainly not the case a generation or two ago.
• After Tok Pisin and English, Hiri Motu was at the time of independence the third most commonly spoken of the more than 800 languages of Papua New Guinea, although its use has been declining for some years, mainly in favour of Tok Pisin.
• "' Motu "'( sometimes called "'Pure Motu "'or "'True Motu "'to distinguish it from Hiri Motu ) is one of many Central Papuan Tip languages and is spoken by the Motuans, native inhabitants of Papua New Guinea.
• The distinction between Motu and its " Pidgin " dialects has been described as blurred-forming a continuum from the original " pure " language, through the established creoles, to what some writers have suggested constitutes a form of " Hiri Motu based pidgin " used as a contact languages with people who had not fully acquired Hiri Motu.
