Bungi Creole
Bungi (also Bungee, Bungie, Bungay, or the Red River Dialect) is a creole of Scottish English strongly influenced by Orcadian, Gaelic, Cree and Ojibwe,〔Wurm ''et al.'' (1996: 1178).〕 and spoken by the Red River Métis in present-day Manitoba, Canada. Bungi has been categorized as a post-creole,〔Blain. (1989: 15)〕 with the distinctive features of the language gradually abandoned by successive generations of speakers in favour of standard Canadian English. Today, the creole mostly survives in the speech of a few elders, and the use of non-standard pronunciations and terminology by a wider population. ==Name== The name derives from either , or , both words meaning “a little bit”. In addition to describing the language, Bungi can refer to First Nations persons generally, or those with mixed European and First Nations ancestry (regardless of perceived cultural affiliation).〔Blain. (1989: 2).〕 In these colloquial uses the term may have mildly pejorative connotations, even when used by speakers to describe themselves.〔Blain. (1989: 33).〕
