There are more than 300 different languages in Papaua New Guinea... so which language do you want There are over 800 distinct languages in Papua New Guinea according to Ethnologue. However, the lingua franca is called Tok Pisin (talk pidgin). It is by far the most widely spoken language. In Tok Pisin saying hello depends on the time of the day. In the morning one says "Monin" or "Monin tru" (a very good mroning). In the afternoon one simply says "apinun", and in the evening one says "gud nait". "Apinun", however, is used far beyond what many in the west would consider genuinely afternoon. Even after sundown, but as people are going towards their homes, one will generally say "apinun".
