Micronesian Pidgin is an English-based pidgin language spoken in nineteenth-century Micronesia. It may have been related to Melanesian Pidgin English due to a number of workers from Melanesia.English-speaking traders dominated the area from about 1840 and unstable pidgins were in use by 1860. It may have creolized in some beach communities of Kusaie but no data is available.
