Google finds about 30,900 English pages for Pitkern but only 784 English pages for Pitcairnese. Is there any objection to moving this page to Pitkern language? Jonathunder 23:11, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Following Grutness, I moved the page to Pitkern, but if anyone objects, we can discuss it. Jonathunder 03:02, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
I know that some may debate that language isnt created but evolved, but who made up a language that would end up being used by only a 100 people who ended up knowing english. Why would they make up another language, it's like me creating a group just to make up a new language. It seems a bit strange to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.103.158.84 ( talk) 19:53, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Roman Gauls and Iberians must have been very strange indeed in their behaviour (making up Spanish, French and Portuguese from Latin!) 92.235.178.44 ( talk) 14:27, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
I've added three phrases to the table - "I'm going swimming", "Come on all you kids" and "Lebbe". My wife grew up on Pitcairn as a kid and passed these gems on to me. A comment on "Where are you going?" - given as "About ye gwen?". I'm told that was older Pitkern - by the 1960s, this had evolved into "By ye gwen?". I haven't edited this - would like to see come confirmation - also whether historic or current usage is to be illustrated. Another apparent error: "Ye like-a sum whettles?" The word should be "weckle" - "Ye like-a sum weckle?". That one should be corrected. Ptilinopus ( talk) 05:37, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
I don't want to unilaterally edit this without some discussion here first, as there are a number of issues involved with the claim that (essentially) "Pitkern is endangered because it's not being taught, but there have been attempts to standardise it". These issues are:
I've marked the paragraph in question as "dubious" for the moment, since I'm pretty sure there's a sensible form of words we can use here. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 06:28, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello,
I suspect that this talk page might be one of the places to get more attention than the Wikipedia itself, but note that I've made a proposal to close Pitkern Wikipedia at meta:Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Pitkern & Norfuk Wikipedia 3. If anyone has any opinions or knowledge on the topic, especially for people who speak the language who are interested in free content, input is appreciated. SnowFire ( talk) 01:13, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
