		Hiri Motu (or 'Police Motu') is the second lingua franca of Papua New Guinea, spoken throughout much of the former Territory of Papua.
		Hiri Motu is of considerable interest to linguists, as it is one of the few stable pidgins in the world which is not based on a European language.
		The basis of Hiri Motu is Motu, the Austronesian language of a number of villages around the city of Port Moresby.

		Infact the wife of the first Hiri pioneer Edai Siabo was the first Hiri Hanenamo for her display of commitment and dedication to the rituals vital to ensuring a successful Hiri Trading voyage.
		One of the great spectacles of the Hiri Moale Festival is the Hiri Hanenamo Quest where selected young women will parade in front of a crowd of spectators, covered in tattoos, swaying their grass skirts and calling out a lagatoi or double-hulled canoe used in the Hiri Trading days.
		Carried out by a panel of judges chosen at random, the modern Hiri Hanenamo is chosen for her poise and deportment in dance, the care with which her tattoos and clothes have been made, as well as her knowledge of traditional customs.

		Hiri Motu (formerly known as `Police Motu') has both Central and Non-central dialects, the Central dialect showing more features of the Motu language whose speakers are in close promixity (Dutton 1996).
		The bound pronominal subjects in Broken Oghibbeway, and bound pronominal objects and possessors in Central Hiri Motu are examples of such marked morphosyntactic structures.
		Likewise, the differences between the Central and Non-central dialects of Hiri Motu also appear to reflect the typological distance between the languages of the surrounding speaker populations: the Central dialect, surrounded by languages related to Motu, shares more features of Motu; the Non-central dialect, surrounded by languages unrelated to Motu, shares fewer features of Motu.

		The majority of the languages spoken in Papua New Guinea are highly diverse, belong to many unrelated groups, and are spoken by small language communities.
		Hiri Motu, adopted as a symbol by the Papua Independence Movement, has acquired equal status in many respects with New Guinea Pidgin (NGP).
		The growth in the use of NGP has led to the emergence of a new, heavily anglicized sociolect, Urban Pidgin, which in turn has resulted in a weakening of the status of NGP both as an independent language and as a lingua franca.

	Pidgins and Creoles - MSN Encarta
		Pidgins are often viewed as “broken” or inferior languages but they are in fact creative adaptations of natural languages, and have a grammatical structure and rules of their own.
		Some pidgins, known as expanded pidgins, may become so useful that they develop a formal role in communication and are sometimes given official status by a community as a lingua franca, as in the case of Hiri Motu, a Motu-based pidgin that is an official language in Papua New Guinea.
		A characteristic of pidgins, however, is that they do not live for very long (compared with other languages), often dying out or becoming creolized within a century.

		Hiri Motu, a simplified version of an indigenous tradition, was originally a British colonial law enforcement tool.
		(Hence its original name, Police Motu.) However, though Hiri Motu continues to enjoy regional popularly, Papuans are increasingly pushing Tok Pisin, a language based on an English pidgin, into the national role.
		Today something like 50% of Papuans speak Tok Pisin as a second language, and the number is growing.
