In this chapter the reader is led further into the field of near-relative contact with greater time depth. Insights from the study of creole development are introduced, as is the concept of the creoloid. Greater depth is given to our understanding of koineisation. Varieties discussed include Bonin Islands and Pitcairn/Norfolk Island English, Fiji Hindi, Afrikaans and medieval Scandinavian (in relation to contact with Low German).

Keywords:   English, Afrikaans, Fiji Hindi, North Germanic, Contact Linguistics, Historical Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, Koineisation
