More info: There are two languages of Pitcairn Island, English and Pitkern. Pitkern is a creole language based on eighteenth century English and Tahitian, and is spoken by about fifty people. It is partly derived from eighteenth century English because Pitcairn Island was settled by the Bounty mutineers in the eighteenth century, and they brought some people from Taihiti with them.
