Tok Pisin Pidgin English Rosary Prayers

This language Tok Pisin, better known as Pidgin English, is a Creole form of English spoken widely in Papua New Guinea, mainly in the northern half of the country. As of 1982, about 50,000 people spoke it as a first tongue. Some 2 million persons speak it as a second language. Given the plethora of languages native to Papua New Guinea, Pidgin is a prime lingua franca used for communication within the country. It is the most frequently used language in the Papua New Guinea Parliament and in commerce. Distinct dialects exist between lowlands, highlands, and islands, with the highlands dialect having the greatest influence from English.

(Prayers that are not known in this language are shown in English until we have the complete prayer, at which time it will be shown in both languages.)
