Interesting Facts
- Hiri Motu, also known as Police Motu, Pidgin Motu, or simply Hiri, is an official language of Papua New Guinea, serving as a simplified version of the Motu language within the Austronesian family.
- While the number of native speakers is very few (cited in 1992), there are approximately 120,000 second-language speakers as of 1989, highlighting its role as a lingua franca in the region.
- The language's simplified structure makes it accessible to a wide range of speakers, particularly in contexts related to trade and communication.
- The Bible includes significant verses, such as John 3:16, translated into Hiri Motu:
“Badina be Dirava ese inai tanobada ia lalokau henia bada dainai, iena Natuna tamona sibona ia vara, ia henia vadaeni ita dekenai, do idia abidadama henia taudia ibounai be do idia mase lasi, to mauri hanaihanai do idia abia.”
