To what extent is Tok Pisin used here? What is the dominant lingua franca in this city?--Sonjaaa 20:13, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

• Tok Pisin is the main lingua franca in all Papua New Guinean towns. English is used for official purposes and in the school system, a good number of urban people have some level of functional English, and local languages (tok ples) are dominant in villages, generally, but Tok Pisin is the lingua franca across the country. In part of the southern mainland coastal area centred on Central Province, Hiri Motu is a stronger lingua franca - but not in Port Moresby. Wantok (toktok) 23:43, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

• One of the main textbooks for Tok Pisin uses the Madang dialect as its "standard". I don't remember the title of the book offhand. Ll1324 (talk) 05:01, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
