[en] This article presents two cases of specific language ecologies that emerged
in the South Pacific at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the
twentieth century: Palmerston English, spoken on a remote atoll in the Cook
Islands, and Tayo, a school creole from the Catholic mission of Saint-Louis
in New Caledonia. Both are still spoken and even expanding at present.
Findings from these creoles with English and French lexifiers may be of
interest to studies of German-based contact languages with similar initial
ecologies. Based on the description of the environment where those two
contact languages emerged, we would like to start a discussion about the
parameters that influence the creation of new languages in specific contexts,
such as these languages and Unserdeutsch.
