'A close analysis has convinced me of what may appear paradoxical. It is that if one wanted to assemble a general language which would, after a few days' study, allow a clear and systematic exchange of simple ideas, one could not choose a more logical or fruitful foundation than that of creole syntax.' (Alfred de Saint-Quentin, 1872 - quot. in Todd 1981:92)
