| '''Pitkern''' (also known as '''Pitcairn-Norfolk''' or '''Pitcairnese'''), is a linguistic cant based on an 18th-century mix of English and Tahitian. It is a primary language of the Pitcairn Islands, though it has more speakers on Norfolk Island. <ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Pitkern language," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitkern_language, accessed 14 Jun 2021.</ref>
