Palauan English
- ... that Palauan English only started emerging in 1962? Source: Britain, David; Matsumoto, Kazuko (2018). "Palauan English". In Further studies in the lesser-known varieties of English.Quote: "The second phase ‘exonormative stabilisation’ can be said to have begun in around 1962 when the Cold War confrontation between the US and the Soviet Union was intensified, reminding the US of the strategic importance of Micronesia." (During the first phase, "English as a lingua franca was used only among local elites" and "no strong linguistic impact upon the IDG strand could be observed")
