More information:

Limited comprehension of oral or written Tok Pisin (See: [[Tok Pisin]]).

Laycock (1973) mentions three potentially separate languages: Setiali, Paka, and Gabiano. There is very little data on any of these, however, but they are likely all dialects of a single language (Conrad and Lewis 1988).
