Wikipedia description:
Tayo, also known as Saint-Louis Patois (French: patois de Saint-Louis), is a French-based creole primarily spoken on the outskirts of Nouméa, the capital city of New Caledonia. It is spoken by about 3,000 people in the village of Saint-Louis, about 15 km (9.3 mi) from Nouméa. The language developed out of the contact of speakers of many different Kanak languages in the mission, and the use of French for official purposes and as the language of prestige. The language contains structural elements primarily from Melanesian languages and lexical elements mainly from French.
