While '''English''' is the official language of the Solomon Islands, only 1–2% of the population are able to communicate fluently in English. However, an English creole, '''Solomons Pijin''', is a de facto lingua franca of the country spoken by the majority of the population, along with local tribal languages. '''Pijin''' is closely related to '''Tok Pisin''' spoken in Papua New Guinea. | While '''English''' is the official language of the Solomon Islands, only 1–2% of the population are able to communicate fluently in English.
