Unserdeutsch · 4.2°S 152.2°E

Unserdeutsch ('Our German'), or Rabaul Creole German, is a German-based creole language that originated in Papua New Guinea. It is described as a boarding school creole as it emerged among mixed-race children at a Catholic orphanage and school in Vunapope, a neighborhood of Kokopo. The children were educated in German and in contact with several other languages, mainly Tok Pisin which greatly influenced the creole.
