I'm amazed that some people in this thread have never heard of Pidgin English. It's been around for at least 150 years.

Well you learn something every day, had no idea there was such a thing as Pidgin English or that BBC has its own section. At first I thought it was an old April 1st article!

Back to the topic - how on Earth has India managed to develop a nuclear and space exploration technology, countless skilled doctors, thousands of Microsoft technical department experts to call you and yet still not have a decent sewage system in place.

We give them quite a lot in "aid" money so they can bring people out of poverty. But they go and build a space program and nuclear weapons instead :/

Even their capitol city is an absolute poo hole. It's not surprising that tourism in India is in decline, people just aren't going back. Once upon a time it was one of the big holiday destinations for westerners.

21st century Earth, rather than trying to better educate people and improve their language skills a news broadcaster reports stories in a language that most infants would laugh at.

How many languages do you speak? Do you speak any others at even the level a foreign infant would laugh at?

It's not that they have poor infrastructure. But they do not prefer toilets. Even if they are provided with the facility they still goes to the field or some other place.

Because India has a massive economic divide between the haves and have nots.

The other issues involve the cultural points as already mentioned. Many in villages and poorer areas just don't see toilets as a requirement. This leads to the rape issue as seen above. Much of India is a very patriarchal society where men hold the purse strings, many would rather buy a new TV than put in a toilet even if the women would rather have a toilet.

Some of its about money, but a lot of it's just about culture.

Edit: a coupe more BBC links explaining the issue in more detail.

Is this a new service for people in Birmingham?

Not sure why the main BBC News page has "featured articles" for me in Pidgin tho...

 

[builder22]

The culprit...

Why not do some reading into it instead of freaking out?

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-38000387

The BBC is launching 11 new language services and one of them is English-based Pidgin, which is one of the most widely spoken languages across West Africa, even though it is not officially recognised.

 

[Cleisthenes]

Y u not get it bruv?

 

[robfosters]

Stupidest language ever.

No, sorry. Freaking out is way more fun.

Also as stated I really hope my license fee money isn't being spent on this. They should imho be taught a real language not some bastardised version of English that has no formal grammar or written form.

 

[robfosters]

BBC should only be delivering content in official languages.

What's next, Klingon, Dothraki? Simlish?

Indeed. How dare people in other parts of the world benefit from one of the world's best news and broadcasting corporations?

"There's no dictionary" and "sometimes I just make a noise"....

This is what the world is coming to. Language is hard, so let's just grunt at each other. Teaching English is racist, yo, and colonial imperialism.

Oh and my favourite.. "I can express myself much better in Pidgin". Yeah, just make some noise and tilt your head a bit, and let's forget centuries of progress made through having a proper language.

Dis da future, a yak di do man, ting ting way baka.
