Cheke Holo, Pijin
No data
Blablanga speakers seem to be gradually shifting not to Pijin, but to another indigenous language, Cheke Holo, the major trade language of Santa Isabel, in which the majority of Blablanga speakers are reported to be bilingual. They use it for communication with neighbouring communities in most spheres of activity, except for education, where Pijin and English are imposed.
