[edit] Sranan, not Sranang, srely?

Srely sme mistake. I am a linguist and I have never seen the spelling Sranang. The form Sranan (with or without Tongo, I don't care) is overwhelmingly more common: so shouldn't the redirect go the other way?

Fixed. --Khoikhoi 06:00, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] only 340 words?

my uncle john's bathroom reader calender claims that "The Taki language, spoken in parts of Guinea, consists of only 340 words". is there any truth to this?

Your uncle john's bathroom reader calender is wrong, if it's about Sranan language: just have a look on this Sranan-English dictionary. It may be about another "Taki" language spoken in Papua New Guinea, but I don't know anything about it. Croquant 20:59, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

thanks. i knew a wikipidean would be able to debunk that uncle's john's dubious claims.216.234.58.18 20:13, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
