 Russenorsk language : Russenorsk
Russenorsk was a pidgin language combining elements of Russian and Norwegian.
Understandably, Russenorsk was not an incredibly complex language.
It dealt mostly with the essentials of Arctic business transactions (fish, weather, etc.) and did not particularly deal with "minutiae" (existentialism, music, etc.) that were not relevant to the situation.

It would appear that language contact situations generally are subject to two often conflicting forces--the need to achieve communicative efficiency adequate for the purpose of the interaction (dynamics of accommodation) and the need to preserve a distinct sense of group identity (group loyalty).
These creole languages are a blend of mostly European vocabulary with a grammar representing a compromise between that of the West African substrate and that of the European superstrate.
Research on the linguistic aspects of language contact leads uto insight on the nature of linguistic systems, the mechanisms by which they interact to produce new strategies of communication, the creativity of human beings in adopting and adapting new materials to be reshaped into new manifestations of the human faculty of language.

One argument for the language organ, for instance, is the poverty of stimulus argument-- that the language available to children is too little in quantity and too suspect in quality to serve to construct a grammar.
But many immigrants don’t really have to learn the national language-- the required level of national language competence in their work is often minimal, and they may live in an enclave (a family or a neighborhood) where it is not needed at all.
Humans may well be adapted to language; the case is strongest, perhaps, for the alteration of the vocal tract: the choking hazard would surely be maladaptive if not outweighed by the greater good of producing a wide range of possible speech sounds.

 Pidgin
Pidgins have rudimentary grammars and restricted vocabulary, serving as auxiliary contact languages.
This stage requires the pidgin to be learned natively by children, who then generalize the features of the pidgin into a fully-formed, stabilized grammar (see Nicaraguan Sign Language).
When a pidgin reaches this point it acquires the full complexity of a natural language, and becomes a creole language.

It is quite likely that it had existed for some time by then, and it has even been suggested that the origins of the language lies in a simplified trade Latin used by Jewish traders.
It has also been suggested that the influence of Lingua Franca reached even further, and that it would be the ancestor of all the world's creole languages.
The most important legacy of the language's once dominant position in inter-ethnic communication in the Mediterranian is of course that its name has entered not only English, but also numerous other languages as a generic term for precisely that – a language of inter-ethnic communication.

Most results of this interaction do not present anything special for language contact studies, they just add more examples to the vast corpus of such well-known contact phenomena, as lexical borrowing and structural interference.
Still, there are several cases where the results of contact provide valuable material for language contact studies.
Another special case among language contact phenomena is Mednij Aleut, the only one known 'mixed language' resulting from the intertwining of Russian with some other language (specifically, Aleut).

As the caracteristic of Slavic Languages is declination, I think SLOVIO should also have a declension pattern, of course an easy one.
This would help as a bridge for those people who want to learn any slavic language, and because their language does not decline, they can not fully understand declination, so a declining SLOVIO would help them overbridge the problem.
Of course prepositions should be used, that enriches the language and makes it more precise.
