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 UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781501501418 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781501501418 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781501501418/original ER -
