Basic Russenorsk
I'm making a basic Russenorsk course here to help myself learn it as well.
What is Russenorsk?
Russenorsk wass an extinct pidgin spoken by Norwegian & Russian fishermen & merchants in the far north of Norway.
Why should I be interested in Russenorsk?
Russenorsk is an interesting language for a couple of reasons:
- It's highly isolated from other pidgins & thus is an interesting way to study general development of pidgins.
- The few resources it has gives insight into the daily life of these people in their natural climate.
- It's just fun to look at & study.
