only 340 words?
my uncle john's bathroom reader calender claims that "The Taki language, spoken in parts of Guinea, consists of only 340 words". is there any truth to this?

Your uncle john's bathroom reader calender is wrong, if it's about Sranan language: just have a look on this Sranan-English dictionary. It may be about another "Taki" language spoken in Papua New Guinea, but I don't know anything about it. Croquant 20:59, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
