Unserdeutsch
Creole (German-based)
The world's only documented German-based creole. Emerged ca. 1900 among mixed-race children at the Vunapope Catholic mission orphanage near Rabaul, where German-speaking nuns enforced German in class while children played in Tok Pisin — producing a creolized German with analytic morphology (no case, no gender; plural via preposed "alle"; copula "is/bis"; preverbal TMA particles "wit/hat/am").
