Nungali Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) I have viewed three of First Contact ' films ; the first films ever made of American Indians and first contact films of PNG and also Australian Aboriginals ( anthropological studies ) ... magnificent , well worth viewing ; Full sets are hard to get due to censorship ( embarrassment of white people , they shot some people there and then dominated them) But this section of the PNG part of the trilogy - Mount Hagen - is 'gold' : Big bird is coming !

Nungali Posted September 15, 2022 Fascinating language I dont mean ALL their languages .... THE language they use to communicate wit each other PNG Pigin ... developed from trying to understand the English of the first Aussie 'overlords' that went there . Heyoo boi , yoo pickimup carry , no buggerimup ... yoo fuckimarse , no pay, no kai kai ! hey, you ... boy (even if its a man. 'Pidgin' ... in pidgin.... is tokboi ' how boys talk ' ... 'boy' as in ; " Boy! Get my bag, carry it for me ! ), pick up that stuff and carry it , and dont you drop it and break it ..... if you keep breaking it and not doing the job right , no money of food for you . " ( or an old favourite - a Highlander explaining to another what he saw in the city .... his first piano : " Big box, with black and white teeth, you hit im, fellah inside sing out nice .
