What with surzhik and Russo-norsk and Sino-Russian pidgins there is certainly a lot of material there, although it may not be written down or anything.

I can't vouch for what they have written on morphology, but the volumes of the semantics of Indo-European consciously influenced the background to my IElang Vakaman. - andrew. -- Andrew Smith, Intheologus hobbit@griffler.co.nz alias Mungo Foxburr of Loamsdown http://hobbit.griffler.co.nz/homepage.html "Ideas are trifles, just a few words...The fewer the words, the greater the importance. I love you. Three words. Goodbye. One word. Tinier than I am, but with such power, such importance...I don't yet know what idea I will become, but I do know it is just one word, a trifle, as I am a Trifle, so it must be a very great idea indeed." - from Delicate Creaturs by J.
