 Howabout my latest project: Teripang [Indonesian for "seaslug"] - futuristic
slangy "mutant" Pacific Rim Pidgin English (Hawaiian Creole, Tok Pisin,
Bislama, etc.).
 Teripang arises from the mixing of Pacific Rim cultures in Pacific City
[a.k.a. "Pak City"] - an artificial island made of scrapped super-ships - due
to the combined effects of global warming and the rise of the sea level.
