This book tells the story of the language of the Bounty mutineers
and their Polynesian consorts that developed on remote Pitcairn
Island in the late 18th century. Most of their descendants
subsequently relocated to Norfolk Island. It is an in-depth study
of the complex linguistic, ecological and sociohistorical forces
that have been involved in the formation and subsequent development
of this unique endangered language on both islands.
