Feast for a Linguist's Ears

Ok, so today's excellent post comes from my friend Anna:

I could spend hours analyzing Solomons Pijin, the language of the Melanesian Brotherhood. An Anglican community based in the Solomon Islands, their music is a beautiful goosebump-inspiring chant. If it sounds familiar, you've probably seen The Thin Red Line, a film that used a whole CD's worth of their songs. A translation of the title of this song is Jesus You Hold My Hand.

Choir of All Saints - Jisas yu holem hand blong mi

(Sorry Anna, I would have posted this earlier, but Blogger was giving me crap...Also, if anyone else wants to do a post, you're more than welcome!)
