Unserdeutsch (Rabaul Creole German) is the only German-based creole language. This contact variety arose at the beginning of the twentieth century at a Catholic mission station in the former Pacific colony of German New Guinea. It is now critically endangered with fewer than 100 speakers alive today. This book reconstructs the origin and development of Unserdeutsch and relates it to relevant linguistic discourses.
