(Why do I do this to myself? Ask very hard questions?) Basically, this question's for something I'm working on in fragments (by that I mean I'm typing one sentence whenever I feel like it and am not really working it on fully the way I am with the other one.) Namely, the dieselpunk thriller I was talking about, the one set in a banana republic (an alternate Nicaragua.) Anyway I need some resources listing words, sentence structures etc or even just plain knowledge, of Nicaraguan Creole English, as that's the language my male MC (the 13-year-old servant boy-turned-revolutionary) speaks. And it's a diary format (again, why do I do this to myself?) Can anyone help?
BTW, I already Googled "Miskito Creole English dictionary" and other similar search terms, but came up with nothing much. (And for some reason I really like to write 13-year-old protagonists.)BTW, according to Wikipedia on "Nicaraguan Creole English', "the language is almost identical to Belizean Kriol". But I don't know how identical. And that's where I need help.Don't want someone from Nicaragua sounding like they're from Jamaica or Belize.
