Guess, your and BG are wide off the mark.

There are several versions of oral communication in King's English. Just think about Legalese,
which is totally devoid of Truth and where every word has at least six meanings.
Then there is Politicianese, which has a curious structure where unfulfilled promises
are considered fulfilled if they are smothered under yet another batch of newly minted lies.
Every time one uses the electric hand-dryer in a lavatory one is reminded
of the temperature and general composition of the Politicianese.

Then there is MilSpeak, a language which consists mainly of grunts, expletives and monosyllables.
The structure of MilSpeak accurately reflects the mind-structure of Milspeak speakers, Alas!
MilWrite is a degraded form of MilSpeak. The Mil have classified themselves into various grades,
such as Colonel and Semicolon. One would expect Milwrite to be very well executed,
given the emphasis of the Mil using the punctuation marks as a sign of exalted rank.
Enter MilLogic. No matter how well versed the Mil are in executions, they do not execute
the MilWrite using punctuation marks at all.
The colons using MilWrite use no Colons nor Semicolonels and there's nary a Fowl Stoop in sight.

Very unpunctilious the MilWrite punctuation. And, again, very reflective of the mind-set of the MilWrite executioners.

Just another example of the many changes to the language since I last visited the the satanic motherland.

My first question is, have all these new influential languages like Pashto, Urdu, Chav and Somali now come together to make a new advanced langauge and will it spread to the civilized world.

It does appear that many of the cultural influences of England have reached Thaiand. Only yesterday I saw a scooter bike with a Burberry Check spray job which I understand is inherited from the Romany based Chav Culture.

I have also noticed an increase in Somalian culture in Thailand. For those who are not familiar with the basics of the culture I will explain.

The Somalis believe that all things have a spirit and a presence, not just living organisms. The most important items are expensive electronic goods, watches, wallets containing cash and credit cards and Heinz Baked Beans.

They wait for the occupier of a dwelling, (usually the suburbs of London) and enter the property with the sole purpose of recover the aforementioned objects and setting them on the road to freedom. The release to freedom is quite an easy process but can be time consuming which makes it impossible for them to hold down a full time job. The watches are just sent to a charity organization (pawn shop) which pays them cash and returns the watches back to their natural Swiss environment, Cash is easy to dispose of, small sums can be given to restaurants where meals are given free to these freedom fighters and larger sums of cash can be returned to freedom via and Arthur Daly style motor dealers.

The females get involved too. There job is the liberation of the credit cards. Women world wide have been proven to be 40 or 50 times better than men at this task.

My main reason for leaving London back in the late Victorian Times was that I realized then the the constant cultural improvement would be far too much for me to keep up with. Farang has now confirmed that I was right.

I've considered these two theories on Sarge-speak, and I have problems with both of them. The language mentioned by Guess, Tok Pisin, sounds reasonable enough; but we read that this language contains elements of English, and in some of the posts in Sarge-speak this element is clearly lacking.
As to Milspeak, in my experience this consists of sentences with, either highly specialised military terms derived from French, or technical Americanisms, with the Anglo-saxon word F**** slotted into all the spaces. This word would have to make up at least 50 percent of the sentence for it be derived from Milspeak.
In light of this, I am inclined to take Sarge's statement, "I am from Mars" a bit more literally than I have in the past. The only non-terrestial language I've been able to find reference to so far though, was on a web-site devoted to the Star Trek language "Klingon", but this seemed to rely on too formal a rule structure to be in any way related to Sarge-speak.
It seems we are still in the dark as to the origins of this language.
