Ndyuka-Trio Pidgin
A language of Suriname
| Population | No estimate available. |
| Region | South Suriname, upper Tapanahonij River. |
| Classification | Pidgin |
| Language use | Trade language. Used until 1960s by Ndyuka, Trio and Wayana peoples for trading. Increasing travel by the Indians to the coast cut back on that trade, and also gave some opportunity to use Sranan [srn] in contact with the Ndyuka. Few Ndyuka men, even older ones, now know it. Used rarely now. |
| Comments | Second language only. |
