English in Vanuatu.
Crowley, Terry
World Englishes, v8 n1 p37-46 Spr 1989
Although English shares official language status with French in Vanuatu, enrollments in English-language schools have increased dramatically at the expense of French-medium schools. Bislama, an English-derived pidgin, has become a compromise language between the two colonial languages that have divided the country. (Author/CB)
