Good news! A fan of Neo Patwa has made some youtube videos. He uses Neo Patwa, or rather sings using Neo Patwa. If you would like to take a look, go to the youtube page.

Po blog nyem Qeyh bahri (mi no sabe mana!), tene makala nipa Swahili-lida. Ta duman, Swahili-lida, ta satya "pidgin" na lida? Ta no pensa Swahili-lida, ta "pidgin." Mi pensa satya. "Neo Patwa," ta satya pidgin, lekin, Swahili-lida, ta tene yan-yan po sema Swahili-lida kaici ta dunya-enta.

In the blog called "Qeyh bahri" (I don't know what it means), there is an article about Swahili. They ask whether Swahili is really a pidgin language. They don't think Swahili is a pidgin. I think that's true. Neo Patwa is a pidgin, but Swahili has people who speak it starting from birth.

Translation: I recently read a very intersting book. It's called Sea of Poppies. The author is Amitav Ghosh. The story is about a ship, called the Ibis. It takes place in India. It happens around 1840, I think. Why do I like the book? First, it's intersting. But also, it has a lot of Anglo-Indian pidgin. It has many interesting words.

Mi na tomo, Nikhil Sinha, ta mo lida-fanya-yan. Ta fanya kalim pakai Neo Patwa. Mi kambi po Anglo-lida.

My friend Nikhil made a translation from English to Neo Patwa, and I back-translated into English again. Here are the results:

Original English:

Hindi is an Indo-Aryan language, a direct descendant of Sanskrit, and is written in the Devanagari script. In essence, Hindi and Urdu, are the same language, but Urdu is written in the Arabic script and has adopted a large part of its vocabulary from Persian and Arabic, whereas Hindi draws on Sanskrit vocabulary.

Neo Patwa translation:

Hindi-lida, ta India-Arya lida. Ta pikin po Sanskrit-lida. Ta subi kaki po Devanagari-kaki. Hindi-lida mo Urdu-lida, ta-saba sama lida. Lekin Urdu-lida subi kaki po Arabic-kaki, mo ta sewa muito kalim po Persian-lida mo po Arabic-lida. Lekin Hindi-lida pakai Sanskrit-lida na kalim.

Back-translation:

Hindi is an India-Aryan language. It is derived from Sanskrit. It is
written using Devanagari writing. Hindi and Urdu are the same
language. But Urdu is written with Arabic writing, and it borrows many
words from Persian and Arabic. But Hindi uses Sanskrit words.
